HERE'S HOW!
Q. How does the University Bookstore determine
how much my books are worth when I sell
them back?
A. If the bookstore has notification from the in
structor that the book is to be re-adoptad for
the next semester, and if the bookstore does
not already have a sufficient stock on hand, then
the student will bo offered 60 of the pub
lishers current list price. For instance, a book
which currently sells fcr $10.00 new, and
which meets the requirements noted above
would be worth $6.00. It would be resold
the next semester for $7.50.
If the bookstore has not received notice that
the book will be used again, or if it already has a
sufficient stock, the book would be worth the
current wholesale price as indicated by one of
the nation's largest jobbers of used textbooks.
The buyer will be happy to answer any quest
ions which you may have regarding the price
paid.
Q. Is sixty percent the usual price paid for text
books around the country?
A. Definitely not! Most stores in the United States pay only 50 percent for
books being used again. The University Bookstore is one of only a very
few which pay 60 percent. And remember we pay cash.
Q. What about paperbacks? Does the same policy apply to them?
A. Yes. The University Bookstore does not penalize you on text paperbacks.
If they are being used again, and if the bookstore needs them, they are still
worth 60 percent of the publisher's current list price. The only exception
is English paperbacks which are bought at wholesale prices.
Q. If the publisher's price has gone up since I bought my books, will I receive
the benefit of that prices increase?
A. Yes. For instance, if you bought your book for $9.00, and the pub
lisher's list price is now $10.00, you will get $6.00, not $5.40.
Remember, Bring Us Your Books During Finals Week. Books will be bought
