Say it ain't so, but is it now impossible to obtain a physical deskcopy ESRI book as an instructor who adopts their books for a class? E-books are really useless, especially if you have severe eye strain from looking at a screen all day as it is. This is hopefully a oversight on my part....

How to Request a Desk Copy from Esri Press - Esri Community

You might need to purchase the print copies of the book(s), since only e-books are free. You should reach out to esripress@esri.com . There is no harm in asking for an exception with a valid justification.

Hi Greg,

I'll send you a solution we can offer for a desk copy.

Students don’t need to purchase print books, they can choose to purchase or rent e-books, which are generally cheaper.

Just so I am clear, both instructors AND students need to purchase ESRI hardcopy books? I think this raises both ethical and equity concerns?
