Quick, easy, AFFORDABLE books for school! With options for new, used or rented... ships quickly and returns are also simple and easy. I've brought/ rented my books from here for every semester for the last three years and have not had one issue! Even when i purchased books before the semester began and then was informed i wouldn't need the book i was able to return it for my money back with no problem!

Happy With The Service
January 21, 2017

Always on time shipping, great prices, and easy returns. I have always found most of my books here and the rental time is always the right amount of time because by the rental date, I don't need the book at much.

Address Entry Flaws
January 20, 2017

The order form only lets you type in the street address portion, and then uses google maps to fill in the zip code, city and state. This doesn't work because for many college students they have PO boxes through their university which have different addresses than the street address. I was forced to enter an incorrect address and now I'm just hoping the textbook gets here on time.

Hi there! To input a PO box into our address field, you need to put the street of the post office in the first line. This lets us know what post office you're using. The PO Box number goes in the second line. If you have further questions or would like assistance with this process, let us know!

Second attempt
January 20, 2017

This is my second attempt at ordering books from here. I'm still holding out hope that I'll get a book but my first order was cancelled without me being informed. I had to find out myself because no one had contacted me for a while.

Beat out everyone else
January 21, 2017

The few that had the book I needed wanted so much I couldn't afford it.
This site was even cheaper than 1/2 of what the others wanted.

Yay cheap books!
January 20, 2017

Wonderful, easy. The search was easy and got the book I needed on the first try. There were a lot of affordable price options. Saved me a lot of money by renting it. In addition, it's awesome how I can rent it for a full semester.
