Employee Discounts
Annie's Book Stop
A Holy Cross ID card (or Holy Cross pay stub) shown at the Worcester location of Annie’s Book Stop will be good for an additional 10 percent discount on all books: new, used, vintage, and special orders. Since we start with a 20 percent discount on new books, which is the best we know of in Massachusetts, this will mean Holy Cross employees, not just students, can now get 30 percent off retail price on all new books purchased here! At that discount, it should also be a lower price than corporate programs for most book purchases of which we are aware. For used paperback books, the standard 50 percent we give off cover price will become a 60 percent discount for all Holy Cross employees, and so on. For nearly all used hardcover books, our maximum price is $3.99, and the discount applies from that price on those books.
