The Tank
Is it still open this week to purchase books? I've been unfortunately lacking in income for the last while and have put off buying a few of my text books as it isn't until later in the semester that they're needed. I was hoping to buy them this week and get reading them early.

Also, just fyi, the school sends all course textbooks back to the supplier after the midterm for that class.

The Tank is closed until Monday.
Just an FYI, for most courses Titles doesn't order a textbook for each student (as per the Prof as well) due to the fact that so many students either do not buy a textbook or buy off of a former coursetaker/Amazon etc. It is simply not cost-effective to do so, that is why it is recommended to buy your books early on in the semester. The number ordered is based off of the amount of books bought at Titles by students for that course the previous year.
So, I would recommend going in on Monday to be sure that all of your textbooks are there and if they aren't then Titles will order them for you which may take a week or two depending on the publisher.

Btw, the Tank and the bookstore in HSB are a part of Titles. I figured I should clarify.

Also, if you go to the main bookstore (Titles) this week they MAY be able to send someone to the Tank to grab books you need. Again, that is a MAYBE. It never hurts to call and ask.

Nah. they won't do it today. Already went and asked. Pretty disappointed. Order a book for 1-business day delivery, and then the bookstore sends me an e-mail "Thanks for ordering... Now it'll be 2 days"
