I'm an educator and am interested in using one of your books in my course. Do you have an academic review or deskcopy program?
We certainly do. Cisco Press is represented by the Pearson Education sales force. Please follow these simple directions to submit your deskcopy requests:

  2. Click the "Instructor" review copy link.

How do I open a corporate account for bulk purchases?
For corporate bulk purchases for US companies (minimum of 25 copies), you can email the details of your inquiry if you need to set up an account. You can also call customer service at 800-992-0579. If you already have an account, you can register to use OASIS to request quotes and place orders. Corporate orders are subject to tax and shipping charges.

How do discount codes work?
If you have received a discount code, you will have the option to enter it during checkout. Codes that can be used more than once are saved to your account, so you may also select a code to use during checkout.

Discounts are applied to the list price of a product, not the already discounted price displayed on product pages.

Some products are not eligible to receive additional discounts, so your discount code may not be applied to all items in your cart. Discount codes cannot be applied to:

  • eBook Deal of the Week
  • Video Deal of the Week
  • eBooks that are part of a book/eBook bundle purchase
  • Promotional "bundles"
  • Products with special discounts applied as part of a promotional offering
  • Products that are being promoted at one of our retail partner sites

Only one coupon can be used per order.

How do I download an electronic product?
When you purchase an eBook from us, you will receive a link in your Order Confirmation email to access the eBook via your Account page.
