Publishers 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 professors. They know what titles best explain the important things you need to learn in their classes.
Professors are concerned about textbook prices for their students.
They often request paperback editions, when available, to help keep costs down. Recycling your textbooks is not only good for the environment, but it also helps increase our inventory of used textbooks for students. Having more used textbooks in stock is the single most significant way the Mercyhurst Bookstore can reduce your textbook costs. The best source of used books is you, our customer. Our preference is to purchase them from you rather than purchase them from a used book company.
