Ridgewater Bookstore is now offering book rentals beginning fall semester! Hutchinson Campus has 36 book titles with the option of purchasing new, used or renting the book!  Book rentals are about half the price of new books!

Why should students buy their books at our College Bookstore?

• Convenience!! Order on-line or shop the store!
• Guaranteed correct book because only WE speak directly with the faculty regarding textbooks.
• Easy returns while on campus.
• Financial Aid, agency funding and PSEO charging available.
• We have a face to which you can return if problems occur!
• Used books can be examined before you purchase.
• All profits go back into the college to provide direct services and to keep down tuition costs.
• Potential of 65% savings on used books (when you buy used and resell for use at term's end).

Note: Even with an ISBN, searching the Internet for a textbook can be hazardous. A single ISBN can bring all manner of mis-represented products via the web--wrong editions, wrong packages, severely damaged books--and more. Too often, old editions, books without CDs, International editions, instructor's annotated editions or ancillaries are sent to students instead of the books they really need for classes.

The Ridgewater College Bookstore is the only place which can guarantee you will have the right book for your class!
