Q: How can I find out more about a book?
If you know the author and/or title, or even part of the title, we suggest you start with the advanced search page. From there you can also browse our titles by subject and series.
Clicking on the title of a book will take you to that book's main page. There you will find the jacket, reviews, author bios, as well as book descriptions and bibliographic data. When available, there will also be access to the table of contents, a sample chapter, related links, and other enhanced pages about the book.
Q: I am a book reviewer. How can I get a book to review?
Copies of our publications are available to the media for review or other news coverage. Fax your requests on letterhead to the attention of the publicity department at 919-966-3829. Questions from the media can be emailed, or call our publicity department at 919-966-3561.
