WHEN CAN I PURCHASE TEXTBOOKS ON THE BOOKSTORE WEB SITE?
The Westmont Bookstore Textbook Reservation web site opens July 1, 2010 for Fall 2010 textbook reservations. Using the bookstore textbook reservation process assures that your required textbooks will be boxed and waiting for you at the bookstore (notification of any publisher delay will be in your box).

The bookstore will make these changes on textbook reservation orders placed on the bookstore web site. The bookstore is not responsible for purchases made elsewhere using the bookstore web site information. Every effort is made to provide accurate information.

The staff at your college bookstore works diligently to see that all the required books are on the shelves for you to purchase. We guarantee that the book you buy from us is the correct edition and has not been illegally reproduced. We know that you have other sources for your textbooks and understand your need to find the lowest cost book. We post the book list on our web site in plenty of time for you to search other sources. With that in mind, we ask that you not borrow our books (purchase for temporary use) when you do not intend to actually buy them. We would like the books to remain in new condition and available for those who need them. We try to be the best overall value to you by providing all the books and supplies you need, on campus, with no shipping fees. The money you spend at your store stays here to cover our costs with any excess going to the Westmont general fund.
