Publishing expenses take the biggest bite out of every textbook dollar you spend. Though textbooks are expensive, they are a good value. You will learn a lot from them and, in fact, they usually represent the smallest part of your investment in your college education. All required course books we sell are chosen by your instructors. They develop their curriculum and know what titles best support their lesson plans and classes.
Professors are concerned about textbook prices for their students.
They often request paperback editions, or used textbooks when available, to help keep costs down. When no selling price is set by the publisher, we add a minimum markup to our purchase cost to cover our expenses of operation. For other textbooks, the price is determined directly by the publishing companies. They sell us the books at a set cost and also establish the selling price we must follow. Our goal is to provide you with all the books you need for your classes at a fair price.
