 Where can I purchase my textbooks?

The SMC campus bookstore stocks texts for all our classes, and you may purchase them either in-person or online. Please make sure you order the correct edition of your text. If you have questions, contact your instructor.

Shipping can take from 2-4 weeks, so order the books you'll need EARLY!

SMC online bookstore (opens in new window)

For a minimal charge, the campus bookstore will mail your books to you OR hold them for 48-hour pick-up at the bookstore after you purchase them online.
