King’s View Academy is a small, private school in Nova Scotia. We do not receive public funding, so every dollar has to be spent effectively. By discovering Western Campus a few years ago we have found a source for good quality, affordable, used textbooks and novels to support our education program. With few exceptions, Western Campus has met our textbook and novel needs, across all school subjects. The quality of books that we received tends to be slightly better than Western Campus’s rating of those books, which is always pleasantly surprising. We have also bought new books through Western Campus as we found, in some cases, these prices are cheaper than purchasing direct from the publishers. KVA will continue to use Western Campus as our first choice for purchasing textbooks and novels in the foreseeable future.
We were introduced to Western Campus in 2020 with the closing of our provincial textbook bureau. I would rate this company a 15/10 for service. The team is supportive, efficient, and a joy to work with. They take out the hassle of dealing with multiple vendors, and they work hard to get the best prices for their customers. I have stretched my dollar more by using Western Campus for all my textbook needs. Grady is exceptional at his job and incredibly patient and helpful. I highly recommend this company for all your textbook and literature resource needs.
The customer service from Western Campus is excellent.
When I request a quote for books, the speed at which they reply is exceptional. The books arrive quickly after placing an order.
Their prices are competitive and I like the fact that they offer good quality used books as well.
Western Campus is my first choice for textbook and novels.
I highly recommend this company!
We have been using Western Campus for a couple of years for our textbook needs.
They are a prompt and efficient company, from answering emails, questions, and delivery of textbooks.
The best part of ordering from Western Campus is you have the option of buying used books at the fraction of the cost of new. They stand behind their textbooks and you can return if you are not satisfied with the condition of them. We have always been satisfied with the quality!
Highly recommend this company!
I was introduced to this company a couple of years ago by a new teacher at our school. At first, I was apprehensive to try a new company, but when I saw the service and deals she was getting, I had to check it out for myself. Once I started working with the team at Western Campus Resources, they quickly became my go-to for textbooks and novels. As a teacher and a principal, I was amazed at the personal attention they paid to me as a customer: emails received quick responses, follow-ups to check on specifications to see if materials actually were correct in meeting my needs, quick delivery, a great variety of materials, and we were amazed at the excellent quality of materials for the prices we paid Using this company allowed us to access materials that were sometimes hard to find and the prices stretched our small school budget even further. A true gem in the complex world of ordering educational materials.
As a small independent school, we have a limited budget and the idea of buying textbooks can be daunting. I was recommended Western Campus Resources about 4 years ago and it has been a fantastic resource for textbooks. Not only do they have a wide selection, their stock of books is also graded into different quality categories (new, used, passable or fair) which supports schools that are on a budget. Once you have made your selection, delivery is fast, and they are very much on top of the customer service game. I highly recommend Western Campus as a local business that will support your textbook needs.
Western Campus provides prompt dependable service. Pricing is consistently the best available and discounted used books are always in good condition. Quotes from Nelson usually just take an hour or so, the free shipping is a bonus and Dean is a great person to chat with when he drops off our books on the Island. We have bought books from Western Campus for over 8 years, as well as having some of our surplus texts taken for consignment. We have always been pleased with the friendly attitude and appreciate the efforts made to accommodate our needs, especially for some obscure titles. Dealing with Western Campus is like doing business with friends.
Western Campus is phenomenal! We have always received great service from the team, including Nelson and Dean. This year, when most companies are slower to deliver, Western Campus came through with all the high school textbooks we needed on time and with such friendly service. Way to exceed customer expectations!
Western Campus has been amazing to work with. Not only do they take our old textbooks on consignment, but they also provide excellent prices for new and quality used resources and textbooks. The service is timely and excellent in that they pick up and deliver materials directly to the school. I cannot say enough good things about the team at Western Campus which works hard to find the difficult to acquire resources and will continue to keep an eye out for them long after the request. Additionally, every year I look forward to their ½ price novel sale in February.
I have been dealing with Western Campus for almost 10 years. Dean and his staff are very efficient with our book orders, large or small. Their prices are reasonable and they have the hard to find books. The buy back program is also fantastic to recuperate costs for books we no longer use. I highly recommend this company.
The amazing staff at Western Campus Resources have always gone above and beyond to secure the best prices on books for our school, and I’ve especially appreciated their efforts to secure harder to find editions and works in translation. Quick communication and delivery has helped to ensure that books are delivered in a timely and professional manner every time.
As a side note, I’ve been teaching with the Hebden texts for 23 years now. They are by far, the best high school Chemistry texts ever written! In fact, I’m 55 now (yup, I started teaching late in life), but I used the old Hebden texts when I was in high school myself. The old Green and Yellow ones. I’m a great fan!
What makes them the best is that they have lots of practice questions, and at various levels, and the answers are all worked out in detail in the back of the book, and these books are tailored to the curriculum, without overwhelming amounts of extra information. Detailed, but to the point.
Superior customer service. Fantastic response times. Great prices, and with consignment, I can take a CREDIT, and then buy books for my library, FOR FREE!!
Western Campus Resources has been a reliable and long term partner with our school. More and more we have used Western Campus and the team there to help us find resources both new and used. They are efficient in finding, quoting and getting us what we need. The price points are excellent and
allow us to get materials within our budgets. The best part is it is a one-stop-shop. More than ever dealing with publishers and suppliers has become less personal and often very slow. One call to a representative and done! Order complete and on the way to our school. Our orders are well
packed and in excellent condition. Over the year Western Campus has been able to take some of our used books to meet a need somewhere else. Again a well done transaction. Thank you Western Campus!!
My experience with Western Campus has been nothing but positive over the past the 10 years that I have been working with this company. Ordering is easy on the website and customer service is excellent if there is ever an issue. Due to the fact that I can get books at the same rate, or lower, than the book companies, it is my one stop shopping source for books. 5/5
I have used Western Campus Resources for years. Their service is exemplary, personalized and efficient. As a service, they have been instrumental in helping our school transform. They also continue to have the best price point of any resource supplier we have seen which is immensely important for schools on a limited resource budget. Western Campus Resources is our go-to supplier; we have no plans to use any other textbook supplier.
I oversaw the purchase of K-12 textbooks for almost 20 years. During this time, thousands of used textbooks were purchased through Western Campus Resources. With Western Campus savings of 20–70% off publisher school prices, the result was huge cost savings allowing budgeted dollars to be stretched further. In addition, hundreds of surplus used textbooks were sold to Western Campus and they also listed and sold textbooks on consignment. I found the staff at Western Campus Resources to be very knowledgeable of the North American textbook market and they were extremely helpful in sourcing difficult to find older textbook editions. The staff were always very professional and efficient, and I highly recommend Western Campus Resources as a textbook supplier in the K-12 educational sector.
Western Campus offers great price, excellent customer service with speedy delivery.
I have worked with Western Campus for 6+ years, and they have never let me down. Their service is exceptional, and their prices are better than what you would find from other book retailers. They also make it convenient to sell back unneeded texts on consignment.
As a department head at our school we are always in the need for text book resources. One of my responsibilities as a department head is searching out pricing and ordering of text books. My first go to place to check for texts and pricing is Western Campus. They normally have the texts we are looking for and they always give me a quote that is lower than quotes from other resource companies. Western Campus also came to our school and took away a number of our text books we were no longer using and made them available to resell to other schools in which we received money for. We have been very happy with our relationship with Western Campus and look forward to continued service in the future.
As a Learning Resource Coordinator for an Alberta High School I can tell you that when the Alberta Government shut down the textbook warehouse where schools could one stop shop for all things schoolbook related, I found myself spending days shopping at over half a dozen different publisher’s websites in order to fulfill my school’s textbook needs. It would take days, sometimes weeks of ordering online, tracking down order sheets on websites, filling out paperwork, sending faxes, and calling toll free lines to order our books. Then, I found Western Campus and all my prayers were answered!
Western Campus carries over 95% of all the textbooks, novel studies, workbooks and teacher resources my school needs. What used to take days to order in now takes minutes. Couple clicks of the mouse and a confirmation email later and I’m done! If there is ever any issue, or they have a better deal for me, my rep Kelly contacts me directly. The staff is super friendly, very polite, helpful, quick and efficient. You couldn’t ask for better customer support from a company. If you have a question, they usually have the answer and it typically comes to you on the same day you asked it, or the next business day if it’s a tough one. No more waiting 5 to 7 business days!
Western Campus has competitive prices that usually match, or are better than, the publisher. If your school is trying to stretch the budget while not compromising quality, Western Campus often offers gently used textbooks bought from other schools. Each one is checked over and repaired, if needed, before they offer it for sale at a reduced price. Need to get rid of a resource and don’t want to feel like you are throwing away money? Contact Western Campus and they might just pay you to take it off your hands!
I have been recommending this company to all the local school librarians for years. I cannot express how much time, effort and stress this wonderful company has saved me!
Have to say this company exceeds expectations every time… Thanks to Kelly and Nelson particularly, whenever I am in need of quick response to textbook or novel needs, they are on it, and fast track my orders whenever possible. Product is always in great shape (even ‘used’ items) and they are fast on the update in providing quotes including shipping rates and ETAs. They are my ‘go-to’ book seller/distributor and I am proud they are Canadian to boot!

Western Campus should be everyone’s first stop for book purchases. I know it’s mine! The employees of Western Campus are quick to respond to every request, always provide the best deals, and are consistently down to earth and respectable. Every experience with them is pleasant thanks to their upbeat and efficient staff. I can’t thank them enough for the amazing service and the endless, great condition books they have provided to my school library over the past four years. Thank you, Western Campus!
I have had the pleasure of doing business with Western Campus Resources for approximately the last 11 years and find them to be extremely helpful & easy to work with. Anytime I have sent in a request looking for specific books, they get back to me that same day letting me know that they are working on my request and usually by the same day I have a quote for my order. There have been times that I have sent in a request on books that I really didn’t think they would have, only to be pleasantly surprised to find out that they can get them for me. I appreciate all the effort they put into making sure my “book needs are met”, and I highly recommend them!
The staff at Western Campus Resources have been amazing for all my textbook needs. Their customer service is exceptional and they always look to find me the best deal on whatever I need. I highly recommend them.
Outstanding service! Gerard is the ultimate professional. Always on time and 100% prepared. It appears that he’s taken great pains to make as little work as possible for the school. And getting a cheque is always nice.
Our school has used Western Campus Resources for years. This is a great little company. They have been very accommodating when we are looking for textbooks that we are short on. Their service is very efficient and professional. When we did a clean out of our book room, Gerard and his staff were quick to come and buy some of our texts which we didn’t use anymore. I would highly recommend them to any school that is searching for textbooks they are in need of.
We have been using Western Campus for the past 7 years and are more than satisfied with the service and the price points we have been given with our resources. We always get a quick response and our orders arrive promptly. Excellent service and prices!
Western Campus Resources is my one and only source for new and used novels and textbooks. No inquiries or orders are too small or big to fulfill. I no longer remember the company I use to order books from, because the service is awesome, especially the person-to-person contact which makes my experience enjoyable in meeting my needs. On-line orders are impersonable and frustrating at times, when information can be easily answered by verbal contact! My representative and his team are honest, has integrity, and ever so patience in spending time answering my questions!
The quality of used novels and textbooks are in very good condition. I enthusiastically refer other teachers to WCR.
WCR gets an A+ on:
I love contributing to the success of Western Campus Resources as a local company in North Vancouver. I hope the company will exist for years to meet the needs of Educators.
I found Western Campus Resources by accident I am very grateful I did. They are easy to work with, go above and beyond and ALWAYS save me money. I try them first whenever I have to make a purchase whether it be new or used books. I have recommended them to everyone in my district and have only heard positive feedback. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed!
I have been ordering from WCR for several years now and always find them to be professional, efficient and very economical.
If you want to get the most out of your budget check with WCR before contacting a publisher.

I have been relying on the services of Western Campus Resources for many years, at every library in which I have worked since I first discovered this site. The website is wonderful, but the staff are the real gems: knowledgeable and So helpful. The pricing is more than competitive ( it is the lowest we have found in most cases) and the free shipping is the icing on the cake. The semi-annual novel sales are a boon to our English department, as well. I can’t remember ever having a less-than-stellar interaction with this company. I heartily endorse Western Campus Resources.
Western Campus Resources has the most amazing staff. Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and helpful only begin to describe my experience with our sales rep and any of the staff I have been fortunate enough to deal with. Whether I am buying or selling, all I have to do is send a quick email or pick up the phone and I have my quote or answers in short order. A working relationship for over twelve years feels more like family – there’s someone there whenever you need them. Thank you for the wonderful service you provide and the marvelous staff you have working there. It’s always a delight.
Western Campus Resources is a great source for educational resource materials. We use them a lot. With all of the budget cut-backs they are able to find us the materials (textbooks and novels) we need for a price that fits our budget. They are a dual purpose supplier as they also find sales for books that we no longer use. Western Campus is one of our top suppliers.
This company is amazing! Because they offer such a varied selection of titles, they are always my first one-stop-shop for textbooks or novels. It’s great that I can choose from brand new or used condition depending on my budget. The customer service is top-notch from the salesperson to the support team. The website is easy to maneuver or you may email the friendly staff for a quote.
I have dealt with this awesome company for many years because of their outstanding salesperson and their very approachable customer service staff. They have a massive collection from textbooks to fiction books available, everything from new to used condition at very affordable prices. Browse through the website or contact them via email and enjoy your shopping.
What an amazing company! We were able to sell our surplus books and get some cash in return, then purchased what we currently needed from the new or used collection available with free shipping. Dealing with the awesome salesperson made this experience such a pleasure and everything ran seamlessly. I definitely recommend contacting them.
I cannot even put into words how wonderful the staff at Western Campus Resources are!! I am the Learning Commons Library Assistant at a newly expanded high school and we have ordered all of our textbooks and novel study sets for gr.10-12 from them. From getting the initial quote to the delivery, the whole process is so smooth and easy. The quality of their used books is amazing, which means amazing savings for our school!! I’ve even had a few defective products and they have replaced them, no questions asked. Hands down the best customer service of any company I’ve dealt with!!
Western Campus Resources has been amazing for all our textbook needs. The staff has gone above and beyond to make our experience stress free and affordable. Their quick response to every request has made our transition from a High School to a High school/ Jr High smooth in regards to finding enough textbooks for our new students without depleting our budget. Living in Rural Northern Alberta, it can sometimes be hard to find resources that you need. Western Campus Resources has become very convenient, with such great customer service and fast shipping. Working with them has been a very enjoyable experience, and I would highly recommend their company to other schools.
Our team is here to assist you with selecting the best textbooks for your students. Whether you need guidance on bulk orders or curriculum alignment, we’re happy to help.
