Notre Dame Press Book Festival and Dirty Book Sale
The University of Notre Dame Press is pleased to announce our annual Notre Dame Press Book Festival and Dirty Book Sale will take place on November 9–10, 2021, 10:00 am to 6:00 pm EST, in the Hesburgh Library Concourse. For decades, graduate and undergraduate students have flocked to our Book Festival and Book Sale. The Book Festival will feature exceptional discounts ($3 paperbacks and $5 hardbacks on select overstock and damaged books), a 40% discount on new and recent titles, author events, autographed books, and prizes. After hosting a virtual Book Festival last year, we are excited to return to an in-person format. All events are free and open to the public.
