PO + GSA-schedule compatible + tax-exempt + free worldwide shipping. Request DoD-Procurement Pricing

Active-duty Department of Defense military behavioral health programs procure the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR) as the operational diagnostic reference for service-member mental health screening, post-deployment health assessment, reintegration screening, Combat Operational Stress Control assessment, embedded behavioral health staff diagnostic reference, military psychology internship and residency training, fitness-for-duty determination, security clearance behavioral-health evaluation support, and disability evaluation system documentation. The buyer universe spans Defense Health Agency-administered military medical treatment facilities (consolidated under DHA following 2017-2024 reform), service-branch psychology programs across all six service branches (Navy / Army / Air Force / Marines / Coast Guard / Space Force), military psychology internships accredited by the American Psychological Association, military psychiatry residencies, Combat Operational Stress Control units, embedded behavioral health teams supporting deployed forces, and Service Member and Family Readiness behavioral health programs.

DoD military behavioral health procurement workflows typically involve PO via DHA central-procurement contracting + GSA-schedule-compatible ordering vehicles + service-branch-specific procurement systems (Navy SeaPort, Army CHESS, Air Force NETCENTS, etc.), with Net-30 to Net-45 payment terms aligned to federal-fiscal-year accounting + DHA budget cycles. Service-branch psychology training program coordinators procure 25-100 copies for psychology intern + psychiatry resident + embedded behavioral health staff onboarding cycles, with separate behavioral-health-clinic + Combat Operational Stress Control + deployed-platform reference copies. Larger DHA-administered military medical treatment facilities coordinate multi-clinic procurement through DHA Markets (regional clusters of military medical treatment facilities under DHA's market-based reorganization) with multi-year frame contracts.

The Text Revision's expanded Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders chapter content — including refined PTSD diagnostic criteria, the new Prolonged Grief Disorder (ICD-10-CM F43.8) entry mapping to combat-loss and reintegration grief contexts, and the Suicide Behavior and Nonsuicidal Self-Injury free-standing diagnostic conditions — directly supports DSM-5-TR-aligned military behavioral health assessment standardization across post-deployment health assessment, reintegration screening, Combat Operational Stress Control evaluation, and embedded behavioral health staff documentation. The Cultural Formulation Interview expansion + ethnoracial-equity text review are particularly relevant for diverse service-member populations and joint-multinational operations contexts. DSM-5-TR severity-specifier framework supports fitness-for-duty determination + disability evaluation system documentation aligned with DoD Instruction 6130.03 (Medical Standards for Military Service: Appointment, Enlistment, or Induction) and DoD Instruction 1332.18 (Disability Evaluation System).

Global Academic Supply provides DSM-5-TR to DHA central-procurement contracting + military medical treatment facility procurement coordinators + service-branch psychology training program directors + military psychiatry residency program coordinators + Combat Operational Stress Control unit logistics + embedded behavioral health team supply officers at bulk-tier pricing structured for DoD-procurement workflows. Tier discounts begin at 5 copies and scale to 20% off on orders of 100+. Multi-year frame contracts welcomed for DHA-administered facilities with predictable annual demand across DHA Markets. PO + GSA-schedule compatibility + Net-30 + tax-exempt checkout + DoD-procurement-system catalog integration + free worldwide shipping (including Fleet Post Office and Army Post Office addresses) + authentication-verified bulk delivery + dedicated DoD-procurement account rep are standard.

Tax-exempt status applies automatically at checkout for DoD government buyers.

Service-branch psychology internship procurement — APA-accredited military psychology internship program coordination?

Yes. APA-accredited military psychology internship programs (including Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Naval Medical Center San Diego, Wright-Patterson AFB, Tripler Army Medical Center, and other service-branch internship programs) coordinate per-cohort procurement timing aligned to military training cycles (typically July intern start dates following DoD JPME synchronization). Global Academic Supply structures procurement scheduling around APA-accredited military psychology internship cohort cycles + military psychiatry residency cohort cycles through dedicated DoD-procurement account rep.

Combat Operational Stress Control + embedded behavioral health teams — deployed-platform reference supply?

Yes.

Free worldwide shipping including Fleet Post Office and Army Post Office addresses supports forward-deployed reference supply through standard DoD logistics channels. Recommended buffer-stocking pattern for embedded behavioral health teams: 1 active forward-deployed copy + 1 garrison-base reserve copy per behavioral health officer.

Post-deployment health assessment + reintegration screening — DSM-5-TR diagnostic reference standardization?

Post-deployment health assessment + reintegration screening + Combat Operational Stress Control evaluation routinely reference DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria (PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Adjustment Disorders, Substance Use Disorders, Suicide Behavior, Prolonged Grief Disorder F43.8) for screening determination + clinical documentation. Service-branch behavioral health officers + embedded behavioral health teams procure DSM-5-TR copies for screening-station + reintegration-clinic + Combat Operational Stress Control reference consistency. Multi-staff procurement supports defensible clinical documentation aligned with DoD post-deployment health assessment requirements.

Fitness-for-duty + Disability Evaluation System documentation — DoD Instruction alignment?

DSM-5-TR severity-specifier framework + diagnostic criteria support fitness-for-duty determination aligned with DoD Instruction 6130.03 (Medical Standards for Military Service: Appointment, Enlistment, or Induction) + Disability Evaluation System documentation aligned with DoD Instruction 1332.18 (Disability Evaluation System). Service-branch behavioral health officers + military psychiatry residents + DHA-administered military medical treatment facility psychology staff procure DSM-5-TR copies for fitness-for-duty + DES reference consistency across the assessment-to-disposition pipeline.

Multi-DHA-Market procurement coordination — split delivery across military medical treatment facilities?

Yes. DHA-administered military medical treatment facilities operating in DHA Markets (regional clusters under DHA's market-based reorganization) can coordinate single-PO procurement with split delivery to multiple military medical treatment facilities across the DHA Market. Examples: National Capital Region Market, San Antonio Market, Hawaii Market, Norfolk-Tidewater Market, San Diego Market, Pacific Northwest Market, etc. Global Academic Supply consolidates invoicing, coordinates split shipments to multiple military medical treatment facilities across the DHA Market, and provides multi-facility delivery confirmation through dedicated DoD-procurement account rep.

Service-branch psychiatry residency program procurement — military psychiatry GME coordination?

Yes. Military psychiatry residency programs (Walter Reed, Naval Medical Center San Diego, Madigan Army Medical Center, Wilford Hall, Tripler, etc.) accredited by ACGME procure DSM-5-TR for resident + faculty + clinical-staff diagnostic reference standardization. Per-cohort procurement timing aligned to military psychiatry residency cycles. Global Academic Supply structures procurement scheduling around military psychiatry residency cohort cycles + per-PGY-year reference allocation through dedicated DoD-procurement account rep.

Cross-service-branch joint procurement — DHA consolidated medical readiness procurement?

Yes. DHA's consolidated administration of military medical treatment facilities (following 2017-2024 DHA reform) supports cross-service-branch joint procurement through DHA central-procurement contracting. Joint behavioral health programs (Defense Centers of Excellence, Psychological Health Center of Excellence, Walter Reed Joint Behavioral Health Service, joint Combat Operational Stress Control units) procure via DHA central-procurement vehicles supporting cross-service-branch standardization.

Free worldwide shipping including FPO and APO addresses — deployed-platform supply support?

Yes. Free worldwide shipping is included in price; no shipping line items on PO. Ships to CONUS military medical treatment facilities, OCONUS facilities, deployed-platform addresses (Fleet Post Office and Army Post Office), and embedded behavioral health team forward-deployed locations through standard DoD logistics channels. Expedited shipping available for deployment-staging-urgent procurement at additional shipping cost. Recommended forward-stocking pattern for embedded behavioral health teams: maintain garrison-base buffer stock above forward-deployed active-use count to eliminate procurement-timing risk for unexpected deployment cycle adjustments.

Defense Centers of Excellence + Psychological Health Center of Excellence procurement coordination?

Yes. Defense Centers of Excellence + Psychological Health Center of Excellence + Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center coordinate cross-service-branch behavioral health research + clinical practice standards + military behavioral health training procurement through DHA-administered procurement vehicles. Global Academic Supply coordinates DSM-5-TR procurement aligned to Defense Centers of Excellence + Psychological Health Center of Excellence research + training cycles + clinical practice standards dissemination.

Active-duty vs Veterans Affairs distinction — does GAS handle both?

Yes. Active-duty DoD military behavioral health (this variant) and Veterans Affairs procurement (separate variant: `/for-va-hospital-procurement`) are distinct buyer universes with different procurement systems. Active-duty: DHA central-procurement + service-branch procurement systems + GSA-schedule. Post-service Veterans: VA Office of Procurement, Acquisition, and Logistics + VHA contracting. Global Academic Supply supports both with dedicated account reps for each buyer universe. Service members transitioning from active duty to Veterans Affairs care often see continuity of DSM-5-TR diagnostic reference across the active-duty-to-VA care pipeline.

DSM-5-TR: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (Text Revision)

The DSM-5-TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition, Text Revision) is the official publication of the American Psychiatric Association (APA). This authoritative resource provides the most up-to-date classification, criteria, and coding for mental disorders, making it the gold standard for clinicians, researchers, and students in the mental health field. The manual helps clinicians and researchers define and classify mental disorders, improving diagnoses, treatment, and research outcomes worldwide.

Published in March 2022, this Text Revision updates and enhances the original DSM-5 (2013) with the most current research findings, contributions from over 200 subject matter experts, and a comprehensive review by the Ethnoracial Equity and Inclusion Work Group. The DSM-5-TR remains the authoritative current edition in 2026, with the APA releasing a September 2025 coding update supplement (available free at psychiatry.org) that provides the latest ICD-10-CM code changes and criteria refinements.

Why this matters: Accurate diagnosis impacts real patient outcomes. Ensure your clinicians and students are trained on the official, most current diagnostic standard — while saving 40–60% compared to retail channels.

Key Features of the DSM-5-TR

  • New Diagnosis: Prolonged Grief Disorder — the most significant diagnostic addition since DSM-5
  • Suicidal Behavior Codes: New codes for suicidal behavior and nonsuicidal self-injury, available to clinicians of any discipline without requiring any other diagnosis
  • Comprehensive Text Updates: Fully revised text for every disorder with updated sections on associated features, prevalence, development and course, risk and prognostic factors, culture, diagnostic markers, suicide, and differential diagnosis
  • ICD-10-CM Code Alignment: Over 50 updated ICD-10-CM codes for substance intoxication, withdrawal, and other disorders — accurate for clinical and billing use
  • Full-Color Printing: Complete full-color printing throughout with the ability to authenticate each printed copy
  • Expert Contributions: Written and reviewed by over 200 subject matter experts in psychiatry, psychology, and related fields
  • Equity Review: Comprehensive review by the Ethnoracial Equity and Inclusion Work Group ensuring culturally informed diagnostic criteria

Who Should Buy This Book?

  • Psychiatrists and psychologists diagnosing and treating mental disorders in clinical practice
  • Medical students and psychology students preparing for board exams (USMLE, EPPP, NCLEX) and clinical rotations
  • Therapists, counselors, and social workers using DSM criteria for treatment planning and insurance billing
  • Researchers in mental health, neuroscience, clinical psychology, and public health
  • Nursing and allied health programs requiring the DSM as a core reference text
  • University bookstores and institutional procurement offices ordering for departments, residency programs, and training academies

Why This Book Is Essential — By Profession

  • For Psychiatrists: The DSM-5-TR is the definitive diagnostic tool used in every clinical encounter — what clinicians call the “current standard” and “common language” across treatment teams. The updated ICD-10-CM codes (including the September 2025 supplement) ensure accurate insurance billing and CMS compliance. Prolonged Grief Disorder is now a diagnosable condition with reimbursable codes. Primary chapters: all diagnostic categories, ICD-10-CM coding tables, assessment measures
  • For Clinical Psychologists: Required for EPPP licensing exam preparation (exam updated to reflect DSM-5-TR content). The comprehensive text revisions incorporate nearly a decade of new research on prevalence, risk factors, and cultural considerations that directly inform psychological testing interpretation, treatment planning, and forensic evaluations. Primary chapters: personality disorders, neurocognitive disorders, assessment measures, differential diagnosis decision trees
  • For Social Workers (LCSW/MSW): The ASWB licensing exam was updated in 2025 to reflect DSM-5-TR revisions. Universities and licensing boards require the current edition. The new suicidal behavior codes (T14.91) allow any clinician to document suicidal behavior without requiring a separate mental disorder diagnosis. Primary chapters: depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma- and stressor-related disorders, substance-related disorders
  • For Licensed Counselors (LPC/LMHC): Insurance billing requires current ICD-10-CM codes — therapists using outdated DSM-5 codes risk claim rejections, audit flags, and compliance issues. The NCMHCE references DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria. Primary chapters: anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, trauma- and stressor-related disorders, feeding and eating disorders
  • For Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners (PMHNP): Psychiatric NPs prescribe medications based on DSM-5-TR diagnoses and need the updated ICD-10-CM codes for prescribing documentation and insurance authorization. The ANCC Psychiatric-Mental Health NP certification exam references current DSM criteria. Primary chapters: substance-related disorders, neurocognitive disorders, medication-induced movement disorders, bipolar disorders
  • For School Psychologists: School-based evaluations for IEPs and 504 plans require documentation aligned with current DSM-5-TR criteria. The updated neurodevelopmental disorders section (ADHD, autism spectrum, learning disabilities) reflects the latest research on prevalence and diagnostic markers in children and adolescents. The Praxis School Psychology exam references DSM-5-TR content. Primary chapters: neurodevelopmental disorders, anxiety disorders, disruptive/impulse-control/conduct disorders
  • For Forensic Psychologists: The DSM-5-TR is the authoritative “bench book” used in courtrooms to assess criminal responsibility, competency to stand trial, and civil commitment evaluations. Expert witness testimony requires exact, updated terminology — using outdated DSM editions can be challenged during cross-examination. Primary chapters: personality disorders, paraphilic disorders, neurocognitive disorders, substance-related disorders
  • For Substance Abuse Counselors: The DSM-5-TR contains over 50 updated ICD-10-CM codes for substance intoxication, withdrawal, and substance-induced disorders — more updates in this category than any other. The refined criteria are essential for determining the appropriate ASAM level of care and documenting severity in dual-diagnosis treatment. Primary chapters: substance-related and addictive disorders, neurocognitive disorders, depressive disorders, sleep-wake disorders

What Real Readers Say

The DSM-5-TR has 4.7 out of 5 stars from 3,978 ratings on Amazon — the #1 Best Seller in Psychiatry. Here’s what verified purchasers are saying:

  • “Necessary book for those in graduate school for clinical mental health counseling!!” — Christine, Verified Purchase, US (March 2026)
  • “My daughter needed this for school and she’s already used it tons! This is a pricy book but it’s priced on par so it’s a good value. The book itself is good quality with a good, thick cover.” — Madeline D., Verified Purchase, US (January 2026)
  • “Essential for MSW study — I waited a long time for a better price and it was worth it. One of the best books I’ve owned.” — Misdelys, Verified Purchase, US (March 2026)

⚠ A Note on Counterfeits: Counterfeit DSM-5-TR copies are a documented and ongoing problem on Amazon, Walmart Marketplace, and eBay. Common complaints include pages printed out of order, wavy text, poor binding, missing sections, and copies that fail the official APA QR-code authentication check. Every copy from Global Academic Supply is guaranteed authentic — official APA US edition, sealed, brand new, with verifiable QR authentication. We do not sell international reprints, scanned reproductions, or used copies.

Budget Justification (For Institutional Procurement)

The DSM-5-TR provides the standardized diagnostic framework required across all mental health clinical operations — from intake assessment and treatment planning to insurance billing and accreditation compliance. Unlike single-use training materials, this manual supports multiple functions: clinical diagnosis, student education, board exam preparation, research methodology, and institutional compliance documentation.

Cost Comparison (verified April 2026): Amazon: $161.23/copy. ThriftBooks: $144.40/copy (new). Barnes & Noble: ~$170/copy. APA Publisher Direct: $170.00 (list price). Global Academic Supply: $89.99/copy — the lowest verified price for a guaranteed authentic new copy from any legitimate seller.

Bulk Savings Example — 25-Clinician Department:

  • Amazon (25 copies × $161.23): $4,030.75
  • Global Academic Supply (25 copies × $71.99 bulk): $1,799.75
  • Total savings: $2,231.00 — enough to fund additional training resources, companion study materials, or an entire semester of journal access

Physical vs. Digital Subscription (3-Year ROI): The APA offers DSM-5-TR Online (psychiatryonline.org) as an annual subscription (typically $99–$199/user/year) — no one-time digital purchase exists. Over 3 years, digital access costs approximately $150/year × 3 = $450 per clinician. Global Academic Supply’s physical DSM-5-TR: $89.99 one-time. Net savings: ~$360 per clinician over 3 years. The physical edition has no recurring fees, requires no internet access, can be annotated and shared across a department, survives digital outages, and does not expire.

This purchase supports improved diagnostic accuracy, reduced billing errors from outdated ICD-10-CM codes, accreditation readiness (CACREP, APA residency programs), and scalable training alignment across residency cohorts and clinical staff. Bulk pricing: $85.49 for 5+ copies, $80.99 for 10+, and $71.99 for 25+ units. Purchase Orders accepted from all institutions.

About the American Psychiatric Association (APA)

The American Psychiatric Association is the largest psychiatric organization in the world, with more than 40,400 physician members practicing in over 100 countries. Founded in 1844, the APA has published the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders since 1952 (DSM-I) — the DSM-5-TR (2022) is the most current edition. APA Publishing (psychiatry.org) produces the DSM series, The American Journal of Psychiatry, and numerous clinical practice guidelines used globally.

In January 2026, the APA released its “Roadmap for the Future of the DSM” — confirming a shift toward a “living document” model with incremental online updates rather than a full DSM-6 release. This means the DSM-5-TR remains the authoritative physical reference for the foreseeable future, with the September 2025 coding update supplement already incorporated.

Frequently Asked Questions

The “TR” stands for Text Revision. Published in March 2022, the DSM-5-TR updates the original 2013 DSM-5 with revised diagnostic criteria for over 70 disorders, the new Prolonged Grief Disorder diagnosis, new ICD-10-CM symptom codes for suicidal behavior and nonsuicidal self-injury, updated prevalence data, and a comprehensive ethnoracial equity review. The criteria structure remains largely the same, but the descriptive text, risk factors, and cultural considerations have been substantially rewritten based on nearly a decade of new research. If your program or institution still references DSM-5, upgrading to the DSM-5-TR ensures your clinical documentation uses current codes and terminology. Global Academic Supply offers the DSM-5-TR at $89.99 — 44% below Amazon.
It depends on your use case. If you regularly make diagnoses, bill insurance, or teach — yes. The DSM-5-TR contains over 50 updated ICD-10-CM codes, new codes for suicidal behavior tracking, and Prolonged Grief Disorder. Residency programs and licensing boards increasingly reference the TR edition. If you only need basic diagnostic criteria and don’t bill directly, the original DSM-5 still covers most codes. However, at Global Academic Supply’s price of $89.99 (vs. $161+ on Amazon), the upgrade cost is significantly lower than most clinicians expect. Bulk orders for departments start at $71.99/copy.
The ASWB (Association of Social Work Boards) exam references DSM-5-TR content as of recent exam updates. While many study guides still cover DSM-5 material, the TR edition includes updated diagnostic terminology (e.g., “functional neurological symptom disorder” replaces “conversion disorder”) that increasingly appears in exam questions. Social work programs and exam prep courses recommend having the current edition. The same applies to EPPP (psychology licensing), NCMHCE (counseling), and psychiatry board exams. Global Academic Supply ships free worldwide, so students preparing abroad can access the same US edition.
Counterfeit DSM copies are a documented problem on Amazon and eBay. Red flags include: pages thin enough to see text through both sides, fuzzy or distorted barcodes, blurry cover art, misaligned spine text, and failure to authenticate via the QR code on the back cover. Some buyers have reported receiving copies shipped from overseas that did not pass QR authentication. Global Academic Supply sells only guaranteed authentic, brand new US editions published by American Psychiatric Association Publishing — never international editions, reprints, or used copies. Every copy is sourced directly and ships sealed.
The hardcover (ISBN 9780890425756) is more durable for daily clinical use and holds up better in a professional library. The paperback (ISBN 9780890425763) is lighter, more portable, and significantly more affordable — making it the standard choice for students, residents, and institutional bulk orders. Most training programs order the paperback edition. Global Academic Supply carries the paperback at $89.99 (vs. $161+ on Amazon) with bulk pricing as low as $71.99/copy for 25+ units. Both editions contain identical content.
Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) is the most significant new diagnosis added in the DSM-5-TR. It recognizes intense, persistent grief that lasts beyond 12 months in adults (6 months in children) and causes clinically significant impairment. Key symptoms include identity disruption, marked disbelief about the death, avoidance of reminders, and intense emotional pain. This was one of the most requested additions from clinicians and researchers. The DSM-5-TR provides full diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis guidance, and updated prevalence data for PGD.
Yes, the DSM-5-TR remains the authoritative current edition as of 2026. No DSM-6 has been announced. The APA released a coding update supplement in September 2025 (available as a free PDF from psychiatry.org), but has indicated a shift toward a “living document” model with incremental online updates rather than a full new edition. Purchasing the DSM-5-TR now is a safe investment — it will remain the clinical standard for the foreseeable future.
The full DSM-5-TR manual (1,050 pages) includes complete diagnostic criteria, descriptive text, differential diagnosis, risk factors, prevalence data, and culture-related features for every disorder. The Desk Reference (ISBN 9780890425800) is a compact companion that contains only the diagnostic criteria — no descriptive text. Most clinicians and programs need the full manual for clinical decision-making, documentation, and training. The Desk Reference is useful as a quick-lookup supplement but is not a substitute. Global Academic Supply carries the full manual at 44% below Amazon’s price.
Clinicians and students recommend a few proven approaches: start with the classification table (pages xxiii–xl) to understand the overall structure, then study disorders by category rather than alphabetically. Use the differential diagnosis decision trees in the companion Handbook. Practice with DSM-5-TR Self-Exam Questions (ISBN 9781615375097) which contains 400+ test questions mapped to specific criteria. For exam prep, focus on criteria changes from DSM-5, new diagnoses (Prolonged Grief Disorder, Unspecified Mood Disorder), and updated ICD-10-CM codes. Global Academic Supply carries all companion study materials at institutional pricing.
Yes. The DSM-5-TR includes over 50 updated ICD-10-CM codes, including new symptom codes for suicidal behavior (T14.91) and nonsuicidal self-injury that are available to all clinicians without requiring any other diagnosis. The September 2025 APA coding update supplement adds additional code revisions. Accurate ICD-10-CM coding is essential for insurance reimbursement, clinical documentation, and institutional compliance. The full manual provides the code alongside each diagnostic category.
The DSM-IV-TR (2000) used a multi-axial diagnostic system and ICD-9-CM codes — it is now obsolete for clinical use. The DSM-5 (2013) eliminated the multi-axial system, introduced dimensional assessments, reorganized disorder categories, and transitioned to ICD-10-CM codes. The DSM-5-TR (2022) is the current edition: it retains the DSM-5 structure but updates descriptive text for every disorder, adds Prolonged Grief Disorder, includes new ICD-10-CM symptom codes, and incorporates nearly a decade of new research. Any institution still using DSM-IV-TR or even DSM-5 should upgrade — Global Academic Supply offers bulk pricing starting at $71.99/copy for 25+ units.
Global Academic Supply sells the DSM-5-TR (ISBN 9780890425763) for $89.99 — that’s $71.24 less than Amazon’s current price of $161.23, a 44% savings. Global Academic Supply is also tax-exempt (zero sales tax) and includes free worldwide shipping, bringing total savings above 55% compared to Amazon. For bulk orders, pricing drops further: $85.49 for 5+ copies, $80.99 for 10+, and $71.99 for 25+. Purchase Orders accepted from all institutions.

The APA offers a digital subscription through DSM-5-TR Online (psychiatryonline.org), which requires an annual subscription fee. There is no one-time eBook purchase available from APA. Many clinicians and programs prefer the physical edition because it doesn’t require internet access, has no recurring cost, and can be shared across a department. Global Academic Supply carries the physical paperback edition at $89.99 — less than many annual digital subscription costs — with free shipping and no sales tax.
