Online Store
The Bookstore’s online store catalog is currently under revision.  Please call the Bookstore at 414-382-6334
to inquire about current clothing and gift inventory available for purchase.  Thank you.

NOTE: The Bookstore will not provide text ISBN numbers or prices via the Internet or the phone.

An explanation per our policy not to provide pricing information via the net or phone:

The Alverno College Bookstore is a business owned and operated by the college, as opposed to many other college bookstore's owned and operated by an outside contracted company, i.e. all the revenue produced by the bookstore stays in the college to help support other college departments and keep tuition costs lower.  Many other college bookstores which are subcontracted keep up to 95% of the revenue produced to themselves. 

The Alverno Bookstore staff works hard to provide students with accurate and current required texts.  This is a process which begins immediately following the previous semester. This of course requires a significant amount of labor.  We feel that by providing pricing and ISBN information via the net or phone we are assisting customers to purchase their texts at other sources, which will undermine the work and expected profit the Bookstore needs to make. 

Although we certainly understand the desire to comparison shop, we feel if individuals want to purchase their texts outside of the college, at the very least they can come into the Bookstore to access this information.  Please note: All required texts should be listed online with the course syllabi.

Summer hours begin May 19th:
Monday-Thursday, 10-4;  Friday, 8-1:30;
WEC Saturdays 10-2.

June 2nd until 6:00 p.m., June 30th until 6:30 p.m., and July 15th until 6:00 p.m. 

Although our hours may not fit your needs exactly, we do want your business and will work with you as best we can to accommodate you. Many other options exist other than purchasing products from us only when the store is physically open.  Please e-mail or call if you need special assistance for purchasing your texts or other college supplies.
