About Probabilistic Publishing
Probabilistic Publishing provides decision analysis books
and resources for managers, decision analysis practitioners,
trainers, and technical professionals. We keep key foundational
works available and in print so that both the experienced
person and the beginner have access to a sound basis for
learning.
In addition to select new titles, we are always interested
in adding publications which our clients wish were available
but, for whatever reason, are no longer in print.
Our products are priced competitively so that they are affordable
for students and professionals. We offer quantity discounts
for trainers and professional discounts for members of most
professional organizations. We normally do not provide "desk copies" for academic use, but sometimes we have returns from bookstores which we can send you AND we do provide an academic
discount.
Due to the excessive amount of time that we have had to chase bookstores to get paid, effective Oct 4, 2008 all bookstores who do not already have a history of prompt payment with us must prepay orders.
Please contact us for volume discount information.

Return Policy

Academic Policies (Review
Copies)
Desk copies / review copies are available
at a discount – contact us for the academic discount
schedule or request the academic discount in the "comment"
field when you order from our www site.
We do not send out complimentary copies unless we have returns from a book store. However, if you
use the text in your course, we will apply full credit for
your review copy. Also, sometimes we have somewhat damaged
returns (see above); if we have a returned book, we will
provide a desk copy academic review.
Concerning David Skinner’s book, "Introduction
to Decision Analysis, 2nd Edition," we do not recommend
this book for undergraduate use. Many colleges and universities
have successfully used this book as the text for graduate
level courses. However, note that this book was written
for the business / industrial decision analysis practitioner
and works best with students closely tied to business and
industry.
Concerning Robert Winkler’s book, "Introduction
to Bayesian Decision and Inference, 2nd Edition," we
do not recommend this book for undergraduate use. However,
it is ideally suited for graduate use (as well as the business
/ industrial decision analysis practitioner).
