As of August 2023, NLC has resumed direct sales of our Passbooks study guides to our library customers. We’ve put together a quick-reference guide to help answer common questions you might have about account access and status, ordering procedures, title data, and other library-related matters.
If you have a question that is not answered on this page, feel free to call us at (516) 921-8888 or email info@passbooks.com.
Currently all of our 6,000+ Passbooks are available in our familiar green comb-bound editions. Most Passbooks are also available as shelf-friendly paperback editions with traditional binding.
Comb-bound editions ship from our Syosset warehouse within 1-2 business days. Paperback editions are printed and bound offsite and require extra time for shipment and delivery.
You can place orders for both comb-bound and paperback Passbooks on our website. To place an order for comb-bound books, simply go to checkout and submit your order.
To place an order for paperback editions, please use the "Order Comments" box at checkout to specify that you want paperback Passbooks.
If ordering by email or fax, be sure to specify that you want paperback editions.
Please note that all website orders will be fulfilled with comb-bound editions unless otherwise noted on your order or discussed with a Passbooks rep.
Yes. At the billing part of checkout, select the “Pay On Terms – Libraries” option. This will allow you to submit your order without payment. You will receive a bill with your shipment reflecting all tax exemptions and applied discounts.
No, just follow the instructions above for submitting an order. However, having an account will allow you to see order history and other information.
As of January 2025, IPG is no longer a Passbooks distributor. If you have been buying perfect-bound Passbooks (blue/white) through IPG, you will need to purchase Passbooks directly.
Please feel free to contact us for more information.
Copyright dates are temporarily unavailable on our website as we update our inventory.
You can find copyright dates by inquiring directly, but note that most titles are 2023, 2024 or 2025 editions.
We update our Passbooks catalog approximately 2-4 times each year. You can request a catalog with an order, or you can call or email for an updated copy (free for libraries).
We also distribute an email newsletter seasonally to library subscribers. These newsletters alert librarians to upcoming exams, new title additions and special discounts. Sign up to receive these emails by sending a note to info@passbooks.com.
