Visit Us Online

Visit our website to view of selection of merchandise. Some of the merchandise on our website is also found in our Bookstore. Merchandise that is processed and shipped directly from the manufacturer is noted in the item description.

If ordering textbooks, please keep in mind that before you “submit” your order, your “shopping cart” will display an order summary. This summary states your “estimated total” based on the textbook options you selected. If a “used” textbook is not available, we will substitute it for a “new” textbook and your final total will be higher than the current estimates. This message appears twice, before you check out. You will NOT be billed the ACTUAL TOTAL until we pick and process your order.

Tenders Accepted at the Bookstore

The Bookstore accepts cash, all major credit cards, Barnes & Noble giftcards, and PC Cash.
