Recommend Books for Purchase

What:

How:

Any or all of these methods will work; more complete information is better

  2. Sale catalog, marked up. Please send quickly so we can use the sale price
  3. Brochures, advertisements, catalogs, citations. (originals or copies)

Information:

For every request, please indicate:

• Who sent the request (initials - may be more than one person)
• Whether you want to be notified when it arrives (write out your last name)
• If it is for reserve, the course and section number

When:

Books go out of print quickly; please order as soon as you know you want the book. Any titles we can't purchase this year will be held for review the following year.

Turn-Around

Books usually arrive 8-10 weeks after the order. Foreign books will take longer.
