31 SECTION HEADING CLASSICS 2012 PENGUIN GROUP (USA) Join the PENGUIN PUBLISHING GROUP College Faculty Information Service

Penguin Publishing Group offers course adoption assistance as near as your phone or computer. Over the past few years, the College Faculty Information Service has grown to cover a wide range of fine titles from all Penguin Publishing Group imprints in a continuing effort to offer personalized service to college professors and enhance information provided by our college reps in the field.

HOW THE SERVICE WORKS

Any assistant, associate, adjunct, or full professor who teaches in the United States and regularly adopts paperbacks is invited to join the College Faculty Information Service. Simply complete and return the questionnaire on the next page, and we’ll send you catalogs relevant to your courses and ordering information. Thereafter, you can contact us anytime to discuss appropriate titles and free exam copy choices.

HOW THE PROGRAM WILL HELP YOU

Through CFIS, you’ll receive information on new and forthcoming books of interest to you and free exam copies for possible course adoption. Our representative will be glad to review Penguin’s exten- sive backlist—an invaluable aid in developing new courses, and answer any questions about our titles that you may have. We’re available to discuss not only current titles but your ideas on books that you’d like to see Penguin publish. We value your suggestions—they assist us in acquiring books that are most relevant to you as educators.

INTERESTED?

Look through this catalog and note the outstanding books and low prices that have made Penguin the first choice of educators. Then fill out the questionnaire and send it to us.

The questionnaire is also available on our website: penguin.com/facinfo

It’s the first step to a collaborative process that will help you select the best books (at the best prices) for your courses.
