Are print versions of the books available?

Yes, most OpenStax books are available in print at an affordable price for both individual purchases and campus bookstores. This help article will guide you through the process of purchasing the print version (softcover) of your textbooks as an individual or as a bookstore representative.  We will use OpenStax College Success as an example in the screenshots below.
