DO NOT PURCHASE BOOKS WITH THE INCORRECT ISBN as they may not be the correct version of the book.
Note that used book transactions are conducted between the buyer and seller, after both parties have agreed on
price. Books purchased during the used book sale event cannot be returned to the Saint John’s Bookstore, as Saint
John’s is not a party to the transaction.
Saint John’s recommends that the purchaser obtain the name of the student seller should a future issue arise.
Used book sales are CASH OR CHECK transactions only.
Be sure to flip through the book before purchasing it as to ensure the books you are buying are of suitable quality

Saint John’s Book Sales:
To assist us in the purchase of books, we will utilize a pre-order form to enhance the efficiency of the book sale
process.
How it will work:
 At the June 19th, 2015 used book sale event, a pre-order form will be available for students and their families.
The pre-order form will also be accessible from the Saint John’s website (www.stjohnshigh.org), and it will be
available in the main office. The 2015-2016 booklists will also be available at the used book sale event, online
and in the main office. Parents will also be able to order PE clothes, locks and planners through this form.
 Students purchasing books through St. John’s must complete the pre-order form and return it with payment to
Saint John’s by Monday, June 29th, 2015. A drop box will be located in the school’s main office to facilitate this
process. Students should make a copy of their completed pre-order form for their records. Orders without
payment will not be processed. Please note that pre-order forms submitted AFTER June 29th, 2015 may result in
books arriving after the start of school.

Students can pick-up their purchased books on Monday, August 31st, 2015 in the Coaches Pavilion according to
the following schedule:
Juniors and Seniors:
Freshmen:
Sophomores:
