National demand exists for book. Until we reach the quantity we need, the book will be bought back at retail. See National Demand for Book. 5. Highlighting and underlining are acceptable. Books bought back wholesale are shipped to a wholesaler who recycles them to other colleges and universities where they are needed.
Students are often disappointed with the wholesale value of their texts.
However, by selling books back, students are not only receiving money for texts, but also contributing to the reduction of textbook prices. Because Buyback requires a certain amount of preparation and updating of information, we do not offer it as an ongoing service. Students usually choose not to sell their books back until they have completed the particular class in which the books are being used. Students receive more money for books that have been adopted by faculty for future semesters or sessions. We will have many more faculty book orders for the following semesters or sessions at the end of the current session, rather than at the beginning.
