Buy early for the best selection of used books. You then have the advantage of not having had to stand in long lines during the first week of class. Refer to Student Textbook Affordability for full details and a wealth of additional tips.

If you visit us in the store, please bring a current copy of your course schedule/bill. This will help our staff find the correct textbooks for the particular sections in which you are enrolled. Course materials may vary from section to section of the same course; each department is free to choose the method for which they allow their faculty to select textbooks.

Having an up-to-date schedule and allowing our customer service staff to assist you in selecting your textbooks is the best way to ensure that you receive the proper textbooks for your course.

When shopping online, shop via the AACC Portal using My Textbooks or use the current course schedule/bill to select your exact term, course and section from our textbook finder. This will ensure you receive accurate information as of the time of your purchase.

Faculty are free to change their course requests at any time, and faculty assignments to sections are not final until classes start. We make every effort to ensure our information is accurate and up to date at all times both in store and online. Please retain your receipt or invoice and don't write in new books or access any digital products until you begin the class in case you need to return them.

Unfortunately, that is not what that means. Textbooks showing a price of $0.00 or $0.01 have not yet been received from the publisher. Textbooks, unlike other retail goods, are invoiced with shipment, meaning their price is not able to be set until we actually receive them and stock them to our shelves. The correct price will show online once we receive the textbook the first time.
