Step 4b: Publishers Make Offer for TIMERA E-Bundle

Publishers may also make an bundled offer called TIMERA (Time-Released E-Content Access). Under this program, web access is followed by pdf access, which is followed by device access. Faster and greater access is allowed for the Student Version relative to the Full Version over time. The date of reference is the date of publication, not the date of purchase.

TIMERA E-Book prices are fixed for Premimum Network Members at 85% of the Platinum Price. This grants a discount for early purchase of the work.
