How to Order


Browse our site to purchase textbooks, digital course materials, general reading books, clothing, and more. When you submit your order, you'll receive a confirmation email with details about your order. This doesn't mean it's ready yet! You'll get a second email when it's been shipped, or is ready for pickup.

For security reasons, we do not accept phone orders.

Medical Orders

To place an online order with the medical bookstore, visit our storefront with Login Canada. Please note that Login fulfills these orders directly - they don't come through the store.
