. .Nebraska Deelcetere, 11C3 R St, will buy back
text3 Dec. 12 through Dec. 21. Students wiH receive
CO percent cfthe new publisher's list price for their
books during the buybacks if the store needs them,
said Mrk Oppegerd, manager cf the bookstore.
"If a student buys it (a book) used, they are
returning better than 60 percent in buyback3,"
Oppegard said. - . .
That means that if a student buy3 a used book for
$7X0, 75 percent of it3 original $10 price, he will get
'more then CO percent cf th purchase back. ...
If the bookstore does not need a student's text, it
will buy the book if the book b listed in the Nations!
Buyers Guide, he said. The guide, published by a
national company three times a year, determines
the value of certain textbooks. Books in the guide
will be bought for their listed value, Oppegard said.
Oppegard said classes are usually smaller during
the spring semester, so fewer books are sold.
Book publisher's suggested list prices, and not the
bookstore, determine the prices for new books,
Oppegard said. Nebraska EookstQre is a member of
the Mid-States Association of College Stores, which
includes bookstores in Kansas, Missouri and Iowa.
Most of these stores follow the publisher's list prices,
he said.' v
In some states, r.3 much ci 5 percent can be added
to the cost of the bocks to freight charges, he said.
Cheryl Davis, assistant manager cf textbooks for
the University Bookstore in the Nebraska Union,
said the store will buy back textbooks Dec. 12
through Dec. 21. Representatives of the bookstore
wO be in the lobby cf the Nebraska Union from 80
am. to 40 p.m. those dap to help students with
. buybacks, she said.
The University Bookstore pays CO percent of the
most recent publisher's list price if the booles will be
used next semester and if the store needs stock,
Davis said.
Books priced at $1 or under may be sold to the
bookstore's wholesaler during the buyhacks for a
price determined by the wholesaler, she said. Prices
of such books, called "mass market paperbacks," are
determined by how many of them the store has in
stock Davis said.
The bookstore will mail two discount coupons to
each student who is registered for spring semester
classes, Davis said. Students may use the coupons
for any purchase more than $10.
The ASUN Book Exchange, which b conducted
every semester, will accept books Dec. 19, 20 and 21,
said Kay Hinn, ASUN second vice president and
coordinator of the book exchange. .

The bock exchange will both collect and sell books
Jan. 16 through 19, Hinn said.
;. Students set their own price for books they bring
to the exchange, and ASUN takes 2 percent of the
total profits, Ilinn said.
Hinn said the number of students using the
exchange has increased in the past two years.
The Paperback Exchange, 471 1 Huntington Ave.,
Suite 5, accepts paperback texts and gives students
trade credit on purchases made there, said Helen
. Bratt, store owner and manager. . .
Students pay one-fifth the price of the book if they
have credit, she said. Books are sold at half the
original cover price, she said.
Page One, located in the Gunny's Building, 245 N.
13th St., also buys and sells paperback texts. Ruth
Griswold, the store's manager, said she pays 30
percent of the book's price at the time cf pub
lication.' !
Books are sold at half the cover price, "not at the
going rate," Griswold said. Page One also offers trade
credit, she said.
The store gives credit of 25 percent of the original
price for most books, but 30 percent credit for each
science Cation book.
When credit is used, a 10 cent "service charge" is
added to the cost of the books, but customers do not
pay cash until their trade credit is used up, Griswcid
