Pricing Policies

• Prices on Non-Adopted material are subject to change without notice. We will bill at the price prevailing at time of shipment.
• Tennessee Book Company neither establishes prices nor controls the timing of price increase on any books or other materials consigned to use by the publishers. Because price increases occur at irregular intervals, we are not always able to reflect current prices.
• We will quote prices and if we provide an executed, written price quote to you, the noted prices will be for ten (10) days form the date the quotation is rendered.
• Teachers collecting monies from students should do so only after verifying prices with an order representative at the time the order is placed.
• Tennessee Book Company cannot be held responsible for typographical errors or price errors.
