PRICINGWe belong to three buying groups, New England Buying Consortium, Connect-to-One and Inter-Collegiate Buying Association so we have the
buying power of large chain stores. But we're answerable to our campus community-not to a corporate office. So you'll find that we have what
you need, when you need it, at very competitive prices. Because we are owned and operated by Frostburg State University (and not some large,
for-profit corporation), our goal is to control textbook costs. We do that with the cooperation of the Faculty and by offering about 45% of
our textbooks used. So don't believe everything you read at the other on-line book sites-they aren't necessarily "cheaper". There are two big
advantages for shopping with us. First, one-stop shopping with us (here on our web site or in the store) gives you WHAT you need, WHEN you
need it, at COMPETITIVE PRICES, from PEOPLE YOU KNOW (or will soon know!). You'll be assured that you'll have the correct editions of the
books you need when you purchase from us. And, if you have to return a book, we'll give you your refund on the spot. You can save shipping
charges by picking up your order or, if you prefer, we can ship your order to you. Remember, before you buy elsewhere, check with us!
YOUR BOOKSTORE STAFFThe FSU Bookstore staff is a small, dedicated group. We encourage you to stop by to visit us any time you are in the area. The Bookstore
Staff strives to provide quality products at competitive prices in a friendly environment. We work very hard to deserve your patronage!
