Cancellation of the Tucson Festival of Books has left vendors like the University of Arizona BookStore with extra merchandise.

That’s good news for bookworms who like a bargain.

From Wednesday, March 11, through Sunday, March 15, all in-stock general books will be 25 percent off at the UA BookStore and online at shop.arizona.edu. You can find the books you wanted to buy at the festival.

Commemorative 2020 Tucson Festival of Books Journals are also available for $9.95 at the store and online.
