Textbooks have vast amounts of research, technology that changes at the blink of an eye, medical advances that have to be updated and included in new editions, expensive drawings, charts, diagrams and multi-color graphics and pictures. Textbook prices reflect real costs . When you purchase your textbooks from the BCC Bookstore you make the right choice. An expensive textbook, surprisingly, does not equate to a large profit for the Bookstore. The Bookstore makes about 20 cents on the dollar and out of that portion we pay all of the payroll and operating expenses associated with the operation of a college bookstore.
Many students prefer to purchase used textbooks rather than new.
This is one way a student can save money on textbook purchases. This provides you, our customer, with an option and an opportunity to save some money. Although we secure as many used titles as we can from students and companies whose primary business is selling used textbooks to college stores, it is impossible to carry all the used books customers want and need. Therefore, if you are interested in purchasing used books, shop early to take advantage of the greatest availability of stock. The BCC Bookstore offers a textbook buyback service throughout the year.
