If you are a UNC Press author, we want to have your latest contact information for our records. Please take a moment and send us your new contact details. Just fill in and return to us the Change of Address form.
We regret that we are not able to provide the final PDF (digital files) of your book. For some time now, the policy of the Press has been not to share the PDF --which is an exact record of the book as it was typeset and published--outside of our established distribution channels. As you may know, and as we know from hard experience, online piracy of published works is rampant, and we have had to take a number of steps to ensure that your work appears only in legitimate venues that are approved by the Press.
If you should need access to a portion of the final PDF for use in book-related appearances or to accommodate excerpt requests, please forward your request to Gina_Mahlek@unc.edu with as complete an explanation as possible. Thank you.
