Textbook
The textbook books mentioned here refer to the following:
1) Books that have been contacted by the instructor to be adopted by the co-op.
2) Books other than those mentioned above that have been introduced in class and are purchased in large numbers.
Please note that textbook books include original bound books and foreign books,
which may not be reflected in this ranking.

designated textbooks, as the supply is determined by the number of students enrolled However, we have also received requests to know which textbooks are most commonly purchased at the University of Tokyo and when they are purchased, so we
have decided to make this information public from January 2024.
