I am trying to locate a title on your website and I cannot find it. Why?

If after using search you are unable to locate the title, it may be because:

  • the title is not a publication of the University of Michigan Press
  • the title is no longer available (Out of Print titles do not appear on our website)
  • there is no scheduled publication date for the title
  • there was a spelling error in your search

I have received a special discount code and would like to redeem it on a web order. How do I do that?

You may use your discount (also called a promotion code) for online orders. You can find more detailed information in the Promotion Codes section of our Ordering page.

How do I find the supplemental online material for the ELT textbook I'm using?

If an ELT textbook has a companion website, go to www.press.umich.edu/elt/compsite. You should be able to find the textbook on the list. If you don't see your ELT textbook listed here, it means there is no online site with materials accessible to students. If you are looking for materials that you, as the teacher, can use to supplement the ELT textbook or to help you teach from the material, try www.press.umich.edu/elt/tm. Scroll down to find the book's title. If you don't find the book listed, email esladmin@umich.edu.
