Any physical orders that ship outside the U.S. are subject to any applicable customs fees, duties, or taxes and are independent of any shipping fees charged by Hayden-McNeil.

Product Information
How do I find out a title's ISBN?
Prior to each semester, we will fax a list of all active titles to your store. That list also contains the ISBN and the publication length. You may also contact our customer service team at 734.455.7900 to acquire an ISBN and product title information.
What if our store does not use ISBN13?
We have implemented ISBN13. If your store is not yet equipped to handle ISBN13, please drop the prefix (978) and use the remaining 10-digit ISBN for your order.
