Unfortunately, not all of our current print books are available in e-book format. We do, however, print books on demand. Please get in touch with us directly for print-on-demand requests. We are currently working on digitizing most of our out-of-print books and our iconic titles, but feel free to leave a comment regarding which print books you feel should be digitized too. 

Ateneo Press uses Adobe’s Digital Rights Management (DRM); in order to access the e-book, you need to register your device/s with Adobe to open the file. While it is possible to authorize a device without an Adobe ID, it might make it harder for you to open your e-book across several devices. Click here to sign up for an Adobe ID.

Some books are not available for purchase for the following reasons:

1. You are buying a co-published book from outside of the Philippines; some books have limited distribution rights (e.g. only in South East Asia, or Philippines). Please check which press we partnered with for a copy of their version of the book. 
2. The book is no longer in-print; please check our Out-of-Print page for the list of books that may be printed-on-demand. Not all books may be printed upon demand because of limitations in distribution rights.
