Bookstore Management | Academic Materials | Textbooks

Follett built and maintains the largest textbook selection in the industry. There is no academic field that we don't cover. If we don't have it, you can bet we will have it soon. Ask the publishers. Ask the professors. They'll tell you the same thing. Follett is the source.

In stock and on time

Follett understands the importance of stocked inventory and timely delivery. That is why we work closely with faculty members to ensure that the books they need are in stock. Just as important, we retain all required textbooks in stock throughout the academic term to support your customers.
Our fully computerized inventory control system tracks all titles and updates our database of virtually every college textbook plus an additional 80,000 other books commonly used in the classroom. Our system also provides sales information from prior semesters to make sure we order the right titles in the right quantities.

Communication is key to service

At Follett, we continually update faculty members on the status of their orders. We electronically transmit purchase orders directly to publishers and know within 24 hours if texts are available. You can depend on Follett with last-minute orders and reorders as we routinely use next-day delivery to ensure textbook availability.

Absolutely the largest used book inventory available

Follett has more used textbooks than any other campus bookstore management company. We consistently carry more than 100,000 different titles and have over two million used textbooks in inventory to ensure that you will receive your needed shipment. We also help you and your end customer save money by routinely transferring used books among our 680 campus bookstores so that we can substantially increase the used-to-new book ratio and provide students with significant savings.

Buyback Support

The availability of used texts and a solid buyback program are important to today's cost-conscious students. Our generous buyback program lets students know we care about their budgets. We will buy back textbooks that have been adopted for the upcoming term at up to 50% of the purchase price. We also purchase non-adopted books at current market prices.
