Your professors choose the texts and other teaching materials. Optional texts are for additional reading on a particular subject.
New texts are in unmarked, undamaged condition.
Used texts may have markings, may be worn but should have no missing pages. No, textbooks are different from general books. Think about how they help you reach your educational goal. Finally, unlike general books, you can sell your textbooks back to us. The UBC Bookstore posts its Coursebook Guide on its website usually two weeks before the start of each term.
