Last week we mentioned that College and University students were going back to the classrooms on the 17^th. Speaking of students returning to the classroom, we also have some notes for educators, and not just University educators:

 

 

Our educator’s discount is an additional 10% off all used books, new books, and book titles for special orders. [We can’t offer the additional discount on non-book product, sorry!]  Please show your MTA card, your university employee ID, or a recent paystub to receive the discount at the register. If you are a state-certified day care owner or homeschooler, please show appropriate credentials.

 

 

We are happy to do bulk ordering for classroom use for paperbacks and hardcovers, either new or used when available from our publisher and wholesaler colleagues.  Unfortunately, that does not include textbooks.  We can on occasion order single copies of textbooks on a case-to-case basis; please contact us for details.

 

 

Again, we do offer a student discount of an additional 10% on new books and used books in-store to those currently enrolled in college or university for undergraduate and graduate studies; please show us an active student ID.
