Good to know
Time frame: Because all chapters are shared with us electronically, you'll usually get them within a few days.
We'll email you when the item has arrived. You will have 30 days to download the PDF, and then it will be removed from our system. (Don't worry - your downloaded PDF will continue to work.)
Copyright restrictions: Due to copyright restrictions, we can only borrow 1 chapter or 10% of a book (whichever is smaller).
