  1. The Customer account features the ability to view your order history, enter multiple shipping addresses, view coupons, and more. It is not necessary for shoppers to establish a customer account to make purchases on the site, but it does offer convenient features for those who do.

Establishing an author account is required for all such individuals who wish to receive their gratis copy of titles for which they are affiliated as well as to receive discounts on SUNY Press purchases.
