Q & A/ Textbook Shop Once Service
What if a textbook I need to buy is not on your shelves?
  • There is no need to keep checking back, or to look elsewhere, for a textbook that is not on our shelves. Use our Shop Once in-store service to buy the book before we receive it. When we receive your prepaid book, we notify you that the book is ready for pick-up.
What are the benefits of Shop Once service? When is Shop Once Service available?
  • Shop Once Service begins the weekend before the first week of classes ­ if the campus bookstore is open that weekend ­ and ends the last day of textbook returns. After that last day, Special Order Service is available.
What if I reserve my textbooks?
  • Textbook Reservation includes a prepaid textbook backorders option with all the benefits of Shop Once Service. Even better, the Textbook Reservation option excludes only those not-in-stock textbooks for which we have no price.
