Rent Books and $AVE
Ridgewater Bookstore is now offering BOOK RENTALS!  That's right...you can rent your textbook and pay about 50% of what it would cost to buy it!  Book rentals began fall semester 2011 with about 32 titles and was hugely popular.  It grew in spring semesester and will continue to grow. Get on board for summer!  Titles will be on the website by May 14, 2012.
Note: Rented textbooks need to be returned to the bookstore by the last day of the semester for which they're rented.

 

Why should students buy their books at The Bookstore?
  • Convenience!! Order on-line or shop the store!
  • Guaranteed correct book. Only WE speak directly with the faculty regarding textbooks.
  • Easy returns while on campus.
  • Financial Aid, agency funding, and PSEO charging available.
  • Customer service! 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!
