Bulk Publication Orders
The Arts Extension Service is happy to offer colleges, universities, as well as arts councils and state arts agencies a discount on bulk purchases of our publications. We have intentionally kept the cost of our book low, but are able to offer a 20 percent discount on the purchase of more than 4 of our Fundamentals books and on orders of our other publications of $200 or more, shipped to your department or bookstore. We are unable to offer this discount directly to your students.
