The UCI Bookstore: Books
About Books At The UCI Bookstore
The UCI Bookstore is an institutionally owned academic
bookstore. As such, our mission is to provide a selection of
books wider and deeper than that ordinarily found, to satisfy
both the general reader and people with a need for more
specialized books across a broad range of academic subject
areas.
The General Book department supports books in the humanities,
arts, popular science, nature, social sciences and business,
plus fiction, film, travel, humor and reference. Our literary
criticism, philosophy and women's studies sections are
particularly well-regarded, while our selection of fiction and
poetry is unmatched in the area.
The Technical Book department supports books and test aids in
the physical sciences, biological sciences, mathematics, and
computer science, along with computer books of every variety.
This year, the store was designated PTR Prentice Hall Magnet Store Of
The Year for 1994. The award was conferred by the publisher for
excellence in the sale and presentation of technical books.
