Why
You Should Purchase Your Textbooks top
Your professors have carefully chosen the course materials
found in the Adrian College Bookstore. The textbooks
are intended to provide the primary source of information
as well as complement what is being presented in class.
Think of them as a continuous learning tool, providing
you with access to knowledge, insight and experience.
And, after you've earned your degree, these same textbooks
will become excellent references for solutions to
the many challenges you're sure to face during your
career.
New vs.
Used Textbooks top
Whenever possible, we'll provide you with a choice
between new and used textbooks. While some prefer
books free from marks and highlighting, others may
appreciate our used textbooks, which could save you
up to 25% over the cost of a new textbook. And that
could add up to big money. We stock as many used books
as possible, but, as you can imagine, they are generally
in high demand.
Buyback
top
Textbooks are unique. There aren't too many items
that can be purchased, used for months and then returned
to the store for cash back. And selling them back
to the bookstore is a great way to put some money
back in your pocket at the end of the term. Buyback
takes places during the last 4 days of exam week of
fall and spring terms.
There are several critical factors
in determining how to value your books being sold
back:
Condition:
Any book being sold back must be in good
shape, with binding, covers and every page intact.
Excessive highlighting, underlining or other markings
may decrease a book's buyback value.
Course
Materials Orders:
If an instructor has requested your textbook
for next term, then the value increases. Books falling
into this category could be worth anywhere from
30-70% of the original purchase price. Generally
speaking, textbooks will be purchased until we reach
our shelf stock level.
Overstocks
and Current Editions Not Being Used on Campus:
Once we reach our limit on a particular title,
or if your book has not been requested for next
term but is a current edition, we will pay you the
highest national market price.
About Old
Editions:
Publishers issue new textbook editions quite
frequently. Ordinarily when a new edition becomes
available, the old editions have little or no market
value.

book rush, for a full refund until the Friday after
ADD/DROP.
