Important Notes on Spring 2018 Textbooks

The Bookstore works closely with faculty to ensure that we have all the right books and editions for your classes. Despite that, textbook information can change at any time, and for many reasons, including faculty changes, class cancellations, newly available books, or syllabi changes. Any purchase made with other vendors based on this site's information is made at the purchaser's risk and is not guaranteed by Colby.

If we are sold out of a course material in the format you chose, we will substitute with the closest available option. Your cost may change based on this substitution. Your book is returnable through the end of the returns period.

Faculty members have indicated that some books for your courses are required, some optional, and some suggested. These decisions are at the faculty member's discretion, but generally required books are the central books for a course, and optional books are usually ancillary materials like study and solution manuals. Books that are required for a course are listed with an R on the line below the title, optional books have an O, and suggested items an S.

The last day to return Spring 2018 textbooks is Saturday, February 17,2018 You will need your receipt. Books must be in the same condition in which they were purchased. This means new books cannot be written in, access codes must be unused, etc.

Used books are the most popular with Colby students, and we are extremely aggressive about getting as many used copies as possible. Typically we have about 60% used books, and 40% new books and coursepacks each semester. There are some books we've found it makes sense to sell only new, e.g. consumable books like workbooks where students at many campuses are required to fill out, tear out, and turn in pages. Unlike some used book sellers, we won't sell you a book that is missing pages, is the wrong edition, or has been damaged by liquids. When the professor asks you to turn to page 27 to read an article, you'll be reading the right one.

Ebooks are often a less expensive option and more convenient as they can be used across multiple devices. Please note that if you do decide to purchase an ebook that some professors may still require a printed hard copy to use in class. If you are uncertain please check first.




Colby Students & Parents: Please use student name and class year (e.g. Mary Low '17 or Elijah P. Lovejoy '16) in the shipping address field even if a parent will be picking up the books. Orders are held by student name and class year.

Due to environmental and timing concerns we do not ship textbook orders. They are held for In Store Pick Up. Please bring your ID when you come to pick-up your books.
