Things to remember when searching for cheap textbooks online:


  1. Make sure you are getting the right textbook edition. You need more than the title and author from your college professor - get the ISBN to be sure you are getting the right edition.
  2. Ask your professor if an older edition will still work for your college course - this could save you lots of money for other college needs.
  3. When you buy a book you can generally sell it back online or at your campus bookstore. However, if there is a new edition coming out soon your college bookstore might not offer to buyback your book.
  4. If you rent books online there are usually no hidden costs if you return it on time and follow condition guidelines. Plus, you will know exactly what you are paying for using the book - no worries about no one buying back your textbook after classes are over.
  5. Generally, only new books come with supplemental materials, online codes, InfoTrac - keep this in mind when buying a used textbook or getting a textbook rental.
  6. Read our textbook rental company reviews and view Better Business Bureau ratings for all our online textbook retailers whether buying, selling, or renting books online.
