Our Annual Frequent Buyer Sale

As many longtime book-loving Cantabrigians and early-bird holiday shoppers know, our annual Frequent Buyer Sale is a fall tradition. Not only is it an excellent time to dive into what seems like countless buzzy new releases, it's the perfect opportunity to get a jump-start on your gift shopping. These last few years, with all sorts of shipping delays and supply chain issues, shopping early for the holidays has continued to be a critical way to ensure the availability and timely arrival of your gifts—all while supporting your local businesses and getting thoughtful recommendations along the way.

You must be a member of our Frequent Buyer program to participate in the 20% off sale, and it's free to sign up! You can sign up at the bookstore or here on harvard.com.
