Norton is one of the founders of Exchange My Book, a bookstore opening next week a few blocks off of WSU's campus. The store functions largely through a Web site that Norton created. Norton said his store only accepts textbooks that will be used in the following semester. After students select the books they own and the books they want online, they go to the store located at 4718 Anthony Wayne Drive. Students can also go into the store without going online first.
Students bring in their old books and get a credit for each book they turn in.
Customers will then be given a date for when they can pick up their books. Norton expects a two to seven day waiting period between the time of the book order and the time of the pick up. If the order cannot be processed, students will be given their books back. If their books have already been given away then they will receive the estimated value of their books. Norton said these are the type of students he is expecting to get as customers.
