Early faculty course order information enables the Bookstore to provide the best possible price to students at buyback and to effectively manage its inventory. It also provides sufficient lead time for the staff to acquire new and used textbooks and course pack permissions.
In recognition of the special effort faculty take to meet the Bookstore’s early ordering due dates, faculty who submit course orders by the due date receive a Bookstore Courtesy Card for 20% off general trade books and most Campus Shop merchandise.
Foreign Books
Foreign books present particular problems with order lead times, pricing and return policies. Some foreign books are not regularly stocked, and need a good deal of lead time to get them here on time. Often the selling price can be very high due to foreign exchange rates.
Desk Copy Requests
Desk copy requests must be sent directly to the publisher. Please contact the publisher directly: either online, by email, or by phone.
