how much my books are worth when I sell
, them back?

the next semester, and if the bookstore does
not already have a sufficient stock on hsnd, then
the student will be offered GQ of the pub

which currently; sells for $10.00 new, and
which meets the requirements noted above
would be worth 8.00. It would be resold
the next semester Jar $7.50.
