Searching for Titles

Search for an ISBN, title, author, or series in the search bar:

Future ISBNs can usually be ordered starting at 270 days before their on-sale date.

Click on any ISBN in the search result to see the title detail page, which will show available formats. Only physical formats are available via Comp Copy.

You can add ISBNs to your cart via the search results or title detail page, and can adjust the quantity if you need more than 1 copy.

You can enter multiple ISBNs at once by pasting from a spreadsheet or pasting a list separated by a line break. Any white-space delimiter (space, tab, return) should work; ISBNs separated only by commas or semicolons (without spaces) will not work.

For convenience, multiple ISBNs can also be pasted directly into your shopping cart, with quantities, via the “Add ISBNs” button. See the Managing Your Cart section for more information.

Once you get results, you can use the filters at left to narrow down the results (for example, to see only hardcovers or only new releases). You can use the “Availability” filter to see only titles that are in stock. See below for a list of the inventory statuses that count as “Available.” You can also change the number of search results shown and choose a sort order.

Within search results, you can sort by relevance, on-sale date, price, or title (alpha). You can also use the filters on the left to narrow your results by availability, format, and new release vs. backlist.

Where relevant, inventory alerts will display in the search results. Here is a glossary of what these terms mean:

Initial Titles
If you’ve ordered an ISBN that is not yet on-sale via Comp Copy, it will be backordered until it’s ready to ship. New title orders release to the warehouses for shipping on the first release date on the New Title Release Schedule. If you need a book to ship earlier than that date, contact csreviews@prh.com (PRH divisions) or PRHPSreviews@prh.com (clients).

Embargoed Titles
If an ISBN is embargoed, it will be backordered and will not ship without permission from the publisher. The order will be held until the embargo is lifted, which is usually on the on-sale date. If you need authorization, please contact Susan Tacy at 86-3869 (PRH divisions) or Shawnna Warren at 86-3859 (clients).
