Discount intended to clear sale books

Mar 1st, 2013

The University Bookstore is offering a deep discount on thousands of sale books, with prices set at 99 cents for paperbacks and $1.99 for hardcover volumes.

Marketing manager Martin Deck says the sale is intended to clear all of the store’s sale books.

“We are trying to free up some shelf space,” he said Thursday in the store’s Vanier Hall location. “We’re just glad to be able to offer our clients such a great deal.”

While there are thousands of titles, fiction, non-fiction, and poetry on a huge range of topics, Deck notes the supply is limited.

Buy texts now to avoid Bookstore rush in January

Dec 6th, 2012

The University Bookstore’s temporary home in Vanier Hall may mean some cramped quarters at the beginning of the semester, says marketing coordinator Martin Deck.

He advises students who have already registered for their winter courses to think ahead and purchase their texts before heading home for the holidays.

“If it gets too crowded during the start of next semester, we may need to restrict access to the store, meaning a line-up for patrons to get in,” he says. “I hope that students will avoid the rush by coming in once their exams are completed.”
