Reserve Products Ahead of Time

The pop-up store we set up will have books and teaching tools for sale, and we make sure we open early and stay open late to give you time before and after class or during breaks to buy what you need without disrupting class time. However, we only bring a limited quantity, and we have sold out before! To save on shipping cost and avoid missing out on the books you want, reserve ahead of time. We can provide invoices or receipts to assist with purchase approval or reimbursement.

Reserving products ahead of time has the added bonus of making sure you are able to focus on the lecture without worrying about a certain book selling out or beating the lines that form.
