Please Read - Important Information for Ordering Your Books Online


The SU Bookstore is pleased to offer our Textbook Comparison Ordering Site. Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the terms below.


From Salisbury: This means that your books are coming from the SU Bookstore and you can pick them up in store or have them shipped to you. Your textbook options from the SU Bookstore include New, Used, Rental, and E-books.

From The Web - These are books available from various sources around the web. If you choose to order those titles, they will be shipped directly to you. We provide this comparison shopping tool as a courtesy and are not responsible for purchases made from third party sites.


Please select your textbook choices carefully for each course.

New & Used Books: We will make every attempt to fill your order with the type of book (new or used) requested. Should that type be unavailable, we will substitute with the type we have in stock. Note: This may cause your sales total to increase or decrease, depending on the substitution.

Books that are listed with $0.00 for the price are not free. This simply means that we do not have the books or pricing information at this time. Books priced $0.00 cannot be ordered on the website.

Rental Books from the SU Bookstore: Rental Books are now available for select titles in store and online for in-store pickup or delivery to your home. By clicking the Agree button on the website, you agree to the terms and conditions of the SU Bookstore Rental Agreement. Details should be included on your receipt.

Inclusive Access (IA): Inclusive Access courses are courses where digital content for the course is loaded into MyClasses and available to you approximately 1 week prior to the start of classes. Students will be charged the price shown via their student account unless they opt out by the date indicated. Simply sign into MyClasses to get started with your content.
