We are happy to work with instructors and students to obtain books for Osher at Dartmouth courses and lectures.
Listings for Spring 2024 classes are organized by instructor in the grid below.
The links (blue highlights) will bring you to the book pages for titles that are currently in print.
We have some books in the store; others need to be ordered and may take 1-2 weeks to arrive. "Special order" books are titles that take longer to get, and are usually non-returnable. We may require prepayment on these titles.
You may order via the website, or by email info@norwichbookstore.com, or call 802-649-1114 - whichever is easiest for you!
