McGraw-Hill’s Primis Custom Publishing established a standard for educational publishing when it launched its custom publishing operation in 1990. In response to the needs of changing curricula and the concern over high prices of textbooks for students, McGraw-Hill introduced the concept of making books for individual school needs and adapting books that we already publish to better fit a teacher’s course content.

Our organization has proven successful since the early years of custom publishing and we have maintained this organizational model to provide a simplified and effective basis for printing, pricing, promoting, and distributing educational products in print and electronic formats.

We are pleased to give you an overview of kind of work we can do for you:

An "adaptation" simply means you can take an existing textbook and reorganize the chapters and/or abridge the contents. You may select from our vast array of McGraw-Hill College textbooks. McGraw-Hill produces thousands of products for use in college humanities, social science, languages, science, mathematics, engineering, business, and economic courses. Adaptations are generally printed in black and white, but depending on the enrollment size of your course, color adaptations may be possible. Contact your McGraw-Hill Sales Representative.
