Subtext is one of only a handful of remaining on-campus consignment bookstores. We are proud to offer UVic students the opportunity to buy used books directly from other students on campus. Whether you are looking to buy or sell books, make SUBtext your first stop!
Money spent at SUBtext is used to pay for much needed UVic student services through the University of Victoria Student Society.
Consignment books, iclickers, model kits, rock cleaning kits: prices are set by students who receive 75% of the selling price when their book is purchased. This means that our books are usually cheaper than those at the main bookstore, and buying your books/supplies at SUBtext helps out a fellow student!
Find a great selection of local wares from talented BC and UVic artists. We sell stickers, jewelry & accessories, buttons & keychains, patches, posters & prints, plus more! Check back often for new additions.
If you are a local or student artist looking for a shop to sell your creations, we’d love to see what you make. Your art could end up selling on our shelves!
We carry a variety of magazines, covering everything from food to literature to politics. New issues arrive regularly, so be sure to stop in and see what we have! Is there a magazine you want that we don’t carry? We’re happy to add new publications to our stock!
