Welcome to the "Books" Site!

Hi there, and welcome to the Books section of our UofT Bookstore web site!
We're glad you could come and visit us….

Here's some helpful information for you before you begin shopping online:

Unlike the "Coursebooks" section of our store's web site (that features textbooks used in courses offered at UofT), this "Books" section features a selection of trade books (more commonly known as general interest books) that are ordered and sold by our Trade Book Department staff here at the UofT Bookstore.

Please note that the books featured on this "Books" site do not comprise a complete listing of the titles we carry in-store. The titles listed here are only a representative selection of our stock. If you do not see the book that you are looking for listed here, or you need further information on book availability, please do not hesitate to contact us. See "Contact Us" link on our site sidebar for details…

So, please - feel free to search for a book (using either our Search For a Book tab or our Browse Catalogue tab) or browse our weekly and monthly features. If you find the site helpful, please let us know. If you have any comments or criticisms, we'd be glad to hear them too! Enjoy your stay and we hope you visit us again soon!

The Trade Book Department

Who We Are:

Our staff is a knowledgeable, humble, and fun-loving team. At the risk of sounding like a classified ad, we have to admit that we all love to read, we enjoy learning new ideas, and we are inspired by creativity in literature, music, film, art, and life in general.

What We Do:

The UofT Bookstore is an independent, university bookstore and we, in the Trade Department, especially pride ourselves on our independent, non-chain-store status. In our department, we select, order, organize, display and recommend trade books to customers. All of our ordering is done on-site (not from an office tower miles away!) and all of our titles are maintained by experienced and knowledgeable staff members. Our front-list buyers examine countless catalogues and meet with publisher's representatives a-plenty in order to stock the best in new and current trade publications. Our back-list buyers work hard to ensure that we carry an extensive and solid body of bestsellers and noteworthy classics.

Our Selection:

With well over 100,000 titles, we have one of the most extensive general interest book selections in Canada. We sell the best in both new books and long-standing classics and we are proud of our personally chosen selection. Our emphasis is on academic titles with extensive fiction, philosophy, science, psychology, classics, business, law, literary criticism, and history sections. We also have a wide selection of mystery, science fiction, poetry and prose, drama, geography, media, sociology, women's studies, education, cookbooks, sports and much, much more.

Our store is known for many unique aspects, including its Penguin Shop and Dover Shop (individual areas of our department where we carry Penguin and Dover Publications exclusively), its well-stocked Philosophy section, its superb language books area, and its University of Toronto Press books section, just to name a few.
