Was worried when I saw that two of my books were not only the newest edition, but worse of worse--LOOSE LEAF! You know what THAT means: can ONLY buy and can NOT rent and at the end of the semester NO sell back! So the fact that I found one of them in paperback I was THRILLED! And when I found it here and it wasn't even $50! I almost dropped dead! Thank you SOSOSOSO much ValoreBooks! Will definitely shop here again!

I was searching for a quick, centralized location to search for used college textbooks. Not only was the website easy to navigate, the prices were quite reasonable. The only downside I found was since items are all shipped independently you paying shipping per item. I'm not certain if you can search for books coming from the same seller, or if that would reduce the shipping price.

Painless Experience
January 14, 2018

Typed in the ISBN, instantly found the right book at the lowest price and had everything handled in less than 3 minutes. ValoreBooks repeatedly has the best deals on textbooks and other required-materials.

No Log-In - No Problem

Order a textbook within a minute which is pretty fast! Love how Valore Books was able to bunk off $66.73 on the Textbook which is a discount very worth the while too. It even beats the Amazon prices. Other website range from $46.95 - 100 for the "POWER OF CRITICAL THINKING" by VAUGHN

If I get the book in a reasonable amount of time, this would be a five star deal...

I like that I could find the books that I needed. I like the options given on how you would like to purchase (rental, purchase, alternative). Keep doing what you do.

It was nice to find the book I needed a lot cheaper on this site. The book arrived in 3 days and is in great condition! I will buy my books through here in the future.

I would highly suggest that you change your shopping cart to be able to manually input your city and state. Allowing google maps to automatically populate those fields almost sent my books to another city! I'm guessing this happens all the time. It's the difference between 3 and 5 stars and possibly not using your site in the future.

I try to order from Amazon because the shipping is faster with Prime but when they don't have my book or its out of stock Valore usually has it. Between the two I can usually get all my books. Valore also has great costumer service.

I was directed to this site through Slug Books. Everything I needed was already in the cart and then I paid for it. Pretty easy with no frustrations.

Easy to Use
January 11, 2018

I love how easy it was for me to checkout and see the sellers' ratings. The prices are very good for the books I need. I was glad to see that this site even had the book I needed at a lower price than Amazon, and most of the time Amazon is cheaper than others!

I was able to place the ISBN number of a book I needed and it came right up, and was at such a reasonable price. I was very satisfied. I will pass on the good news.
