Can I create
a "custom textbook" from the cases?
You can select and arrange cases
to suit the needs of your course.
[top]
How can I combine
materials from other sources with the cases?
Through HMCo's Custom Publishing
group, you can work with a custom editor to create a customized
version of the cases combined with other materials, including
chapters from textbooks as well as cases and readings from
a variety of sources. Consult an editor at http://college.hmco.com/instructors/ins_custompub_home.html
to inquire about this option.

What if I want
to add my own materials to my case textbook?
To add your own materials (e.g.,
a syllabus), you will need to have PDF files prepared for
submission. Your original material will be added to the
textbook as one chapter. If you do not have PDF files or
cannot prepare them yourself, you can discuss other custom
publishing options with your Houghton Mifflin Sales Representative.

How can I obtain
a proof of the cases in the series?
Electronic proofs are available at
any time as you build a casebook. Hardcopy proofs are not
available.

How can I obtain
a desk copy of a casebook once an order has been placed
with my bookstore?
Upon placing an order for the first
time, you may request up to 5 sample desk copies for orders
of less than 250, up to 10 copies for orders of less than
500, and up to 15 copies for orders of 500 or more. You
may request 5 desk copies for reprint orders.

How can I order
a case textbook?
You can create a customized book
directly on our Custom Publishing site: http://www.comcom.com/HMCO/.
An ISBN and title code will be assigned once you submit
your order. You must print out your confirmation/receipt
page and give it to your bookstore. We will not begin printing
your textbooks until after your bookstore places the order
with HMCo Customer Service (800-225-1464).
[top]
How long will
it take for my books to arrive?
It will take approximately 3-4 weeks
from the time your bookstore places your order with HMCo
Customer Service.
[top]
What will the
final text look like?
The customized text will look professional
in every way. Regardless of the cases you choose and the
order in which you place them, the pages will be numbered
sequentially, and the Table of Contents is automatically
customized to the cases you choose.
[top]
What if I want
to package my case textbook with another Houghton Mifflin
textbook?
For order quantities of over 100,
it is possible to package your case textbook with another
HMCo textbook, with a 10% discount off of the Houghton Mifflin
textbook. Contact a custom publishing editor at http://college.hmco.com/instructors/ins_custompub_home.html
to inquire about this option.

How much will my text cost?
The books are priced by the page,
at $.23/per page.

minimum number of cases I must order?
Yes. Each order must include a minimum
of 10 cases.

Can students
view cases online?

can preview the cases as they will appear in their printed
casebook.
[top]
Do I have
the option of creating an online casebook for my students?
At this time casebooks are provided
as print only products to your campus bookstore. You may
opt to have your casebook packaged with new textbooks from
Houghton Mifflin. You can also choose to customize your
current Houghton Mifflin textbook by including cases that
appear in the case database. Please contact your sales representative
for more information.
