3 Easy Options for <strong>Textbook</strong> Shopping How to Read a Shelf Tag<br />

#1: Buy <strong>Textbook</strong>s<br />

Keep or sell them back for cash<br />

• Enjoy the freedom to write and highlight in your books<br />

• Save books to be used for future classes or as points of reference<br />

• Get cash for most books during buyback*<br />

Shopping Tip: Consider buying textbooks for basic core<br />

classes that will be used for multiple terms (i.e. Calculus,<br />

Chemistry, <strong>Bi</strong>ology, etc.) Also, when shopping for textbooks,<br />

take note of any guaranteed buyback prices advertised on<br />

the book shelf; these signify that the book will be purchased<br />

at the end-of-term buyback for a guaranteed specific price.<br />

*Buyback is conducted daily at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>Store</strong>, however the best<br />

offers come at the end-of-term buyback. When a book is being used for a<br />

future term or has marketplace value, we can offer up to 50% of the new<br />

book’s price during buyback. When purchasing books, please note that<br />

there is risk that certain books may not be used for future semesters or<br />

have marketplace value.<br />

Please look for rental, eBook and guaranteed buyback shelf tags as well.<br />

These will help you further navigate your options when shopping in store.<br />
