Important Copyright and Photocopy Permission Information

There seems to be more demand for ESL services and less money for books! Its 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 students?
A: Photocopying from a photocopy of this book is known as a pirate copy and is illegal. Isnt 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.
