Used book buyback

After every semester, during the final exam period, and immediatly following summer sessions, the bookstore will conduct a used book buyback. All books for which there is a national wholesale market, will be purchased. The bookstore will pay 50% of the original purchase price for books which will be used the following semester, provided we have a faculty adoption for that book and our quantities are not met; and national market prices for books purchased on behalf of wholesalers (usually 10%-30% of retail). Old edition, out of print, damaged books, workbooks, or books missing inserts can not be purchased. 

In addition, we have a year-round book buyback program, where we purchase books for wholesalers on an everday basis (except during rush periods.) Please bring your books to the store and see the textbook manager. We regret that we cannot offer quotations over the telephone.
