Substitution Policy:

Availability of used books is not guaranteed. While we try our hardest to fulfill your selected condition of new or used there may be times when the condition you selected is not available.

The substitution option tells us what to do if the condition (new vs used) you selected for the title is not available. Your original selection of purchase or rental will always remain intact. 

Selecting OK to Substitute means we will substitute a new copy of the title if used copies are not available or substitute a used copy if new copies are not available. 

Selecting No Substitutions means we will cancel this title if your exact choice in the condition (new vs used) is not available. 

For either option, your order total will be adjusted according to the book you actually receive. 

You select which substitution option to follow for each title you add to your cart.
