You cannot see on our website which books are in stock. But you can count on the fact that actually all textbooks for the current and upcoming period or block can be delivered within two or three business days.
I have ordered a textbook, the course has already started, and I have been waiting for my delivery for several days. What now?
There may be some delays in the delivery of textbooks. We make every effort to have the required textbooks in stock and deliver your order as soon as possible.

I bought a textbook, but I want to quit the course. Can I still return the book?
You may return textbooks in exceptional cases in consultation with a VU Bookstore staff member.
I'm going to take a course, but I can't find it on the website. What should I do now?
Some subjects do not require books. Therefore, those subjects are not listed on online.
It is of course possible that a course is not listed and a book is required. We would like to hear about that mistake via:
info@vuboekhandel.nl.
I would like to buy all my textbooks at once, is that possible?
You can buy textbooks for the whole year, but we strongly advise against it. Not only is it expensive, but you are taking a risk. This is because sometimes there are changes in the prescribed literature, or new editions of books appear. This can then mean that you buy the wrong book, or that you have bought a book you don't need at all. If you order books by the semester, you will always be in the right place!
