Automatic Textbook Monetizer :: Cash for your Books
Congratulations to Vishwendra Gahlot, who won an iPod Touch for the simple act of selling us his used textbooks.
December and January, we bought back a pile of used texts. Almost 11,000 in fact, which put about $310,000 back in students’ pockets. About half end up on our shelves so more students can save.
Pile up savings of up to 76% when you buy used, then sell back. Look for our next buyback starting April 6.

Brent Sheen & friend...
My name is Brent Sheen and am a recent graduate from UVIC with a degree in Elementary Education. I wish to one day have my own classroom filled with minds to mold, but until then I will continue to be a big kid (see pic). I enjoy dabbling in graphic design in my free time as well as listening to music whilst sipping fine whisky with good friends. Thanks to all who voted for my design and remember, "Drop books, not bombs!"
