It’s time to fulfill your New Year’s resolution to read more! Some titles are expensive, we admit, but there are plenty of options to save money. One of them is the UNAM Book Sale, which returns in 2026 with discounts that are hard to find in bookstores and online.
First, you should know that there will only be three days of special prices: from March 11 to 13, you can take advantage of discounts of up to 80%. In previous editions, readers have purchased copies for $10!
This spring edition will bring together more than 30 schools, faculties, institutes, and research centers, so you will find all kinds of genres ranging from philosophy and politics to biology and art.
In addition, you can participate in a cultural program that includes talks, workshops, and dance performances.

The book sale will be held on the Paseo de las Humanidades, located next to Las Islas de Ciudad Universitaria.
