Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to Eagles everywhere! We are winding down ship outs for Christmas delivery. If you live in the state of Washington you have until tomorrow morning (Tuesday, Dec 20) to get your order in and be reasonably sure we'll get it to you before the weekend.

This discount goes through Christmas Day, and even if the promotional code doesn't work--some browsers seem unable to make them work--we watch orders closely on this end and will make sure you don't pay for shipping!!

If you're ordering textbooks, remember to choose the "pickup at the store option" before checking out. Save all that shipping cost and be assured the books will be here when you oome back from your vacation!

We were fortunate to have members of the EWU Basketball team help load the trucks!





Members of various Res Halls and Groups listen to the happy totals:
