Important Copyright and Photocopy Permission Information


There seems to be more demand for ESL services and less money for books! It’s not easy to
be an ESL teacher without photocopying books. ESL Resources recognizes this and provides
ESL teachers with a relatively cheap source of legally reproducible books. For $25 - $50
purchasing teachers get an ESL book with photocopy permission. This is often less than 50
cents per reproducible page. Each book represents hundreds if not thousands of hours of
preparation time. Teachers, how much is your time worth? Canadian Resources has the
books - now keep us in business by purchasing our books. Photocopies are not for resale.

Purchasing Teacher (One Teacher Permission)


A purchasing teacher is granted permission to photocopy this book for use by his/her
students only. You can be an itinerant teacher at several sites or based at one site.
Photocopies are not for resale.

Purchasing School (One School/Site Permission)


If you need photocopy permission for more than one teacher in your school, it can be
arranged for a small additional fee. Please contact me at thane@eslresources.com for further
information.

FAQ
Q: Can I make a copy for a teacher so she can photocopy from the photocopy for her stu-
dents?
A: Photocopying from a photocopy of this book is known as a pirate copy and is illegal. Isn’t it
better just to purchase the book with photocopy permission for less than $50?
Q: Can I borrow this book from a resource centre or library, then photocopy it?
A: No, that would be copyright violation. You only get a photocopy license if you purchase the
book or your school has purchased site photocopy permission.
