TEXTBOOK BUYBACK

BUYBACK IS DURING FINALS WEEK EACH SEMESTER

The Bookstore policy is to buy books that are on the current book list at approximately 50% of the current new price.

The textbook must be the current edition, correct volume number, and in good condition.

If a book is not on the list, the reasons could be as follows:
• The Bookstore has not received a written request from the department for classroom use of the book for next semester.
• It is an old edition, study guide, workbook, lab manual, or programmed text.
• In a few cases, the Bookstore is overstocked.
• The Bookstore has bought back the limit based on what the department feels will be their class enrollment.
• Fill-in books that can't be reused, books that are excessively written in, torn, or have missing pages, will not be bought back.What affects the resale value of your books?
• Instructor has notified Bookstore that the book will be reused and the Bookstore needs additional quantities. HIGHEST RETURN VALUE!
• Instructor has discontinued use of the book or has not notified Bookstore that your book will be used again.
• Bookstore already has sufficient quantities of your books.
• Your book has been published in an updated version and has little or no $ value.
• Condition of your book may be too poor or incomplete to be resold - study guides, workbooks, books with discs, maps, charts, etc.
• National demand determines resale value of books that have been discontinued on your campus.
