3. Physical printed access codes are available via our e-commerce and physical bookstore.
There are still a handful of publishers that prefer to sell access codes printed on a physical card.
Please note: If physical access codes are purchased via our e-commerce store, you may request that we e-mail you the access code rather than mail it.
