Shopping Cart
The University of Michigan Press Shopping Cart feature is operated primarily by Perseus Distribution (for print format) and Chicago Distribution Center (for Ebooks). UMP also links out to other e-vendors such as Amazon (for Kindle) and University Press Audio Books (for audio books), among others.
Having different operators for the ordering, processing, and fulfillment of print and Ebook editions means that orders must be placed separately.
In all cases, whether you are purchasing a print or an Ebook edition (or other digital edition), you will leave the UMP website.
How to Add a Title to Your Cart
- Locate the title(s) that interests you by using our Advanced Search, Subject Catalog, or Series page. Check out our Our Books/About Us page for other browsing options. For Ebooks, visit our Ebooks page.
- To add a title to your Shopping Cart, select the "Add to Cart" link located on the title's detail page. Note: If an Ebook is available, you will see an Ebook Formats option on the title's detail page. By selecting "Add to Cart" you will see all of the Ebook options available, which could include PDF, Kindle, or other. Similarly, if you see an Audio Download option on the title's detail page, by selecting "Add to Cart" you will see all of the Audio Download options available.
- You will leave the UMP site and go to the appropriate retailer where you can specify the quantity of books you wish to purchase and complete the transaction.
