Save money on your textbooks at the Columbia University Bookstore through the textbook rental program.
How the Program Works
-
Students save more than 50 percent over the cost of purchasing new, printed textbooks
-
Orders for rented textbooks can be placed at www.columbiabookstore.com for shipping or store pickup
-
Students can still highlight and take notes in the textbooks
-
The Columbia University Bookstore sends students emails near the end of the term reminding them to return their rented textbooks
eTextbooks & NOOKstudy
-
A wide variety of required and recommended textbooks are available as eTextbooks at the Columbia University Bookstore
-
NOOKstudy is a downloadable free study tool that allows students to read purchased eTextbooks on either a Mac or PC
-
Students can view books and documents side by side, highlight, copy and paste sections into a word document, print important pages, and create course folders for each class
