Textbooks

We offer a wide range of textbooks (course materials) at all locations: Vancouver, Okanagan and Robson Square. 

• Buyback: NOW CLOSED until March 1, 2012. We buy back your books throughout the year (except for two blackout periods - mid September to October and mid to end January).   Buyback FAQ.

• Books for January 2012. This is your last chance to buy your textbooks as we have to start to return them to the publishers now (the textbook area will be closed off in the Vancouver store from February 2nd, however, the textbook team can still help you find books). For the Vancouver campus only, you can still buy your textbooks online or in-store. Using your student ID, you can see your personalised book list OR you can pick manually from a list. Choices for you: rental, used and new.

• In the Okanagan, you purchase your books in-store only as usual. The Okanagan textbooks guide, as well as the Okanagan rental list for January 2012.

• Five choices for you: used, rental, ebooks, new and custom. Working closely with faculty and publishers, our experts build the course materials guides in-store. Our aim is to provide both cost-saving and green options, as well as to be competitive, for example RENTAL saves 55% OFF NEW PRICE. You can rent online, in-store (Vancouver rental list by title here and by course, Okanagan rental list here) or rent from our affiliate (if you rent from Follett, please note they have their own shipping, pricing, delivery and return policies) 3000+ titles: UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan.
