Benefits of Custom

Custom solutions facilitate student success:
Faculty who use custom print and media solutions report that their students are more engaged and achieve better results when using these made-to-order learning materials.
 
Custom solutions put faculty in control:
Faculty choose custom textbooks because they want more control over the quality of their course materials, and they want to save students money.  Custom books let faculty decide how and what material is presented. 

Custom texts are affordable:
Most custom books cost students less than the equivalent used book. Students pay significantly less for a custom-published book because they’re only buying the material they will actually use in their course.  An affordable book that is used cover to cover is a better value than purchasing multiple books they will only partly use. Custom books, like any book, can be resold. 

Custom textbooks don't play favorites at the cash register:
Why should students pay more or less for the same content? Custom is a more equitable choice – all students pay the same lower price for their book.

Custom texts are targeted, timely and appropriate to class content:
The overwhelming reason (based on customer research) faculty choose to create a custom book is to create a better book for their students. Students find it easier to navigate around a book that has been designed specifically around your syllabus. Your students will use all of their book.

Custom solutions offer a world of choices:
Pearson Custom offers faculty access to high-quality content from Pearson and beyond, sequenced and delivered in a wide variety of formats at different price points.

Custom solutions are high quality products:
Pearson’s expert designers and editors ensure that your textbook gets noticed—and read—cover to cover, inside and out. We produce titles with award winning cover design and pedagogically supportive layouts. Content is most often gathered from our recognized and nationally published Pearson textbooks.

Custom solutions have less impact on the environment:
Students consume what they purchase and only purchase what they consume. As technology develops we use greener printing practice like on-demand print and can offer more digital solutions.
