Commitment to value for textbooks:

  • Barnes & Noble at UNC Charlotte now has one of the lowest margins in the nation on new textbooks. (Margins are the percentage bookstores add to publishers' wholesale prices to cover salaries, shipping, etc.). According to the National Association of College Stores, the national average margin is 23.1%. UNC Charlotte's margin is 18% (down from 23% in years past). That means more money than ever before stays in students' pockets!
  • 100% Price Match to all local textbook prices for the same, in-stock book.
  • Biggest selection of used books, sold at 75% of the new book price.
  • One of the best buy-back programs in the UNC system. If an instructor lets us know before buy-back begins that a book is being used again the following semester, you'll receive 50% of the original price paid (until enrollment levels are reached). And if you find a local buy-back offer higher, we’ll match it!
  • Knowledgeable staff, all closely familiar with UNC Charlotte faculty and class schedules, and will make sure you get the right materials needed for each course.

No-worry textbook returns:

  • 100% refund for textbooks with receipt and drop slip, up to the end of the drop period (usually 30 days after the start of classes).
  • For any textbook, you have up to a week after the start of classes to return it for a full refund (with receipt and in its original condition).
