Umass Amherst Sell Back Books

The Bookstore buys textbooks at the end of the Fall and Spring Semesters. A photo ID is required for Buyback. It is the Bookstore’s policy to buy college textbooks which students decide they no longer need or want. Buyback takes place the last week of classes and the week of finals of each semester. You may receive up to 50% back on your book if the faculty member has ordered the book again at the time of our buyback. Faculty members are asked to turn in their book orders in time for buyback. Timely book orders are the most important factor affecting what you get back for your book. You may be offered the wholesale value for your book if we are overstocked, even if we have an order for the textbook or if the bookstore is not buying that title. Not all books have a wholesale value. A book may not have a wholesale value if a new edition is coming out soon. It may not have a wholesale value if there is more supply than demand for the book in the wholesale market. The Bookstore does not normally repurchase workbooks or study guides which have filled-in pages that cannot be reused or books with excessive hi-lighting which would make the books useless to the next potential purchaser.
Your book will not have value if pages are missing or the condition is too poor for us to buy it. A wholesaler is onsite during the rest of the year buying textbooks. Please call (603) 358-2137 if you would like to sell your textbooks during non-buyback periods.

It always puzzled me in its consistency. Does a small, independent bookstore seem like a place that would sell Apple products? Reflecting back, however, it's not so far-fetched. We tend to think of the print book as having been around forever, but their widespread accessibility is fairly recent, coming about only with the advent of the printing press. The truth is that books and printers have always stretched the limits of technology and over the past decade or so, bookstores have fought declining sales with creativity. One innovation that has recently surfaced is the Espresso Book Machine, which allows stores to print books on site at the point of sale by turning PDFs into physical paperback books. The first Espresso machine was implemented at the World Bank InfoShop in Washington, D.C. in 2006.
Parisian booksellers Librairie des Puf are now using this technology to make 2,000 formerly out-of-print titles available. The benefits of such a device are numerous; bookstore owners don't need as much floor space, and it puts independents in more direct competition with online retailers by offering immediate access to a much wider array of titles. Particularly for bookstores servicing universities and other schools, it presents an easy way to provide text books. Unfortunately, the price of an Espresso Book Machine is still quite high, and there aren't too many of them worldwide as of yet. A great bookstore is a hub for the community; a place that draws people together over words and ideas. Books, after all, have always been more about ideas than the physical binding that they're printed on. As a result of the perceived divide between digital and traditional formats, a number of innovators have taken steps to stitch the two worlds together. The Pigeonhole, launched by Random House employee Anna Jean Hughes and partner Jacob Cockcroft, bills itself as a “book club in your pocket.”
Its purpose is to capitalize on the trend towards serialized books, allowing readers to share comments and interact with the authors. There's also Bookindy, a Google Chrome extension that takes your Amazon search and shows you the best place to purchase the same title for less at an independent store.

During the panel discussion, Robert Pignatello, Senior Vice President of Finance and Administration at John Jay College, discussed the diminishing returns of a brick and mortar school bookstore for both students and for the college itself. A textbook savings committee was formed and extensive research was done to investigate options and uncover student needs. The committee found that 77% of students surveyed stated they might not buy textbooks for one or more of their classes due to the high cost of materials. Pignatello and his team realized that it was “time to do something dramatic to reduce textbook costs.” In just two short months, John Jay and the CUNY system worked with Akademos to develop an integrated online shopping experience for students.
During the summer and fall 2014 terms, the new John Jay Online Bookstore saved students over $150,000 off of publisher list price. Students took advantage of all available purchasing options— new, used, rental, and eBook—and scored deep discounts in the Marketplace. The average cost per Marketplace purchase was less than $20. Additional features of the John Jay Online Bookstore include: Customized course list – students can login to the store with their CUNYfirst credentials to view a personalized list of all courses they are registered for, along with the required materials in various price-saving formats. Convenient on-campus pick up – exclusive to orders placed through the online bookstore, students may chose to have their materials shipped to campus for secure and convenient retrieval. Year-round buyback – students can sell their books back on the Marketplace at any time, and can name their own buy-back price.
