What types of books are "BuyBacks"?
Books Readopted - these textbooks have been selected, by the faculty, for the upcoming term.
Textbook Bundles & Packages - some textbooks are sold with study guides, CD's and other ancillary materials.
Please be sure to save all of the materials and bring them back when you are selling back your books. This can
affect the buyback price significantly. Also, not all textbook bundles & packages are bought back to be resold in the
bookstores. In some instances they may be resold to a used book wholesaler.
Overstocked Books - these are books that we do not need for the upcoming term because we have a sufficient
number of used, or new, books in stock.
Discontinued Books - these books have not been selected by the faculty for the upcoming term. If these textbooks
have a national wholesale value, we will buy them back at that value. We also accept donations for various groups.
Please check with your campus bookstore for more details.
