The University of Manitoba Book Store has two locations: the main Book Store in University Centre on the Fort Garry Campus and a health sciences book store in the Brodie Centre on the Bannatyne Campus (downtown). Both locations provide services in textbooks, reference books, special orders, computers and software art supplies, stationery, crested clothing, and giftware.
Computers on Campus, located at both stores, offers educational prices on computer hardware and software and is an authorized Apple repair centre.
Lists of required textbooks and course materials are available in August so that course materials may be purchased before classes begin. The Book Store also “buys back” reconfirmed textbooks for cash.
Mail order service is also provided by writing, phoning, or faxing the Book Store, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2. Payment can be made by credit card or ordered COD within Canada. Total charges will include COD fees, postage and handling.
Textbooks (new or used ) can be ordered online at umanitoba.ca/bookstore
