UPB is a convenient place to order course texts for small upper-division classes and graduate seminars. Students can avoid long lines at the textbook stores, and by choosing UPB you will be supporting a longstanding and unique Berkeley institution.

If you'd like to order course texts from us, here's what you need to know:

We carry books from over 100 university presses and selected other publishers. We order most books directly from the publishers. It takes three weeks on average for ordered books to arrive at the store. We must receive your book list at least three weeks before the beginning of class. Our regular return policy applies to textbooks as well. We do not buy back and resell used textbooks. Email us, call or come in to place an order.
