Sharing copyright on Getting into grad school

I bought your book (electronic version) last year when I was applying to Ph.D. programs. I found the book helpful and I did get into all but one of the programs I applied to. I am now studying tropical botany (my field of choice) with a teaching assistantship and a fellowship.

I met a friend this summer at a field course in Panama who is now applying to grad school. I'd like to share your book with her. Would it be OK if I sent her the electronic version and then delete it from my system (since I no longer need it)? That way it would be just as if I had a hard copy of the book and gave it to her (which is of course legal with regard to copyright).





Absolutely. Although it's unfortunate that the book isn't in all libraries and collegiate counseling offices, it's sufficiently rewarding to know you found value in what was offered and were willing to pass that along to another prospective colleague for similar aid. That sharing of knowledge, after all, was the impetus for the project from its inception.

So yes, so long as you follow copyright regulations (which require destruction of the current copy), you're welcome to pass along the guide.

Thank you for the request and the update. I'm glad we both could help.
