Bookstore website
As a non-profit, institutionally-owned entity of the college, the
bookstore is here to support Reed's educational mission. All of your
textbooks and school supplies can be purchased here. The bookstore also
features a varied and in-depth selection of trade books (all sold at a
10% discount) that supports and expands upon topics presented in the
Reed curriculum. The bookstore will gladly special order books if what
you want is not in stock. Most books arrive within one to three days of
ordering.
Besides books, you will also find software and computer supplies, dorm
and school/office supplies, Reed clothing, greeting cards, gift wrap,
candy and snack items, and Reed gifts ranging from coffee mugs to
decals to Reed ties. Other essential items we carry are bicycle and
computer locks, computer bags, some over-the-counter medications, and
personal care items.
Some of the services we provide include textbook reservations, textbook
buyback, bookstore accounts, laminating, special orders, and movie
rental. We hold textbook buybacks at the end of each semester which put
over $90,000 cash back into students' hands this last academic year. We
also offer campus work to about 20 students for a combined student
income of almost $40,000. Last but not least, as part of its yearly
textbook scholarship program, the bookstore just awarded $250
scholarships to 50 students totaling $12,500.
For late-night Reedies there is Homer's Hut, our on-campus convenience
store. It is open everyday during the academic year from 6 p.m. to 3
a.m. (5 p.m. – 3 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays) and will provide you
with a wide variety of healthy snacks, frozen foods, drinks, and plain
old junk food, as well as a basic selection of dorm and personal care
items. Video rental is part of our late-night offerings as well.
The bookstore honors your personal checks for all purchases; you may
cash a check for up to $25. If one of your checks is returned by your
bank to us, the returned check fee is $20 per check.
Bookstore student charge accounts can be set up for a nonrefundable fee of $20.
Visa, MasterCard, and American Express are accepted.
You must keep your receipt in order to receive a full refund for any merchandise and books purchased at the bookstore.
