As the campus bookstore, books are a huge part of our mission. We work with instructors to ensure accurate books are ordered per their specifications. We encourage instructors to investigate textbooks before selecting a text and to look at cost and frequency of new editions when choosing texts for classes. We also strive to order as many used books as possible.

Due to a limited amount of space at each location, we cannot stock books on every campus for every class taught at PCC. We can send books to another campus if requested by students, but do need at least 48 hours notice.

Buy Your Textbooks Online

To order your text books, simply click on the campus link below where you will be taking your class. On the campus page, select “Text/Course Material” from the navigation list on the left hand side.

If you would rather come into the store to pick up your books - just come on in! Do not order the books online and then come in the store to pick them up. Web orders will be shipped to your house, we do not hold them in the store.
