How to Find New & Used Cheap Textbooks

  1. Search for your textbook. Do an ISBN book search to locate the correct textbook.
  2. Determine if you need the supplemental materials. Your textbook may come with extras like CDs, access codes, loose-leafs, etc. If you think you will need these materials, you'll want to look at purchasing the item new. Used items are not guaranteed to have any supplemental materials (and probably won't).

You may sometimes find textbooks for cheap, at a price we simply can't match. The marketplace is a great resource to source cheap books, including cheap textbook rentals, etextbooks, digital access content, textbooks in new condition, and cheap used books.

  • Professors will typically supply this in the course syllabus. If not, we suggest asking them for it.
  • Books with the same title often have different ISBN numbers.

  • Perform an ISBN book search to find textbooks accurately.

New & Used Textbook FAQs

  • Is there a fee to use PayPal? No. There is no fee to use PayPal.
  • Why are textbooks so expensive? The biggest reason for expensive textbooks is that new editions limit the sale of used textbooks. That's why we have spent 20 years working with publishers to get you the best price possible, whether it's a new edition, used textbook, or eTextbook.
  • Where is the access code on a textbook? Access codes can usually be found on the first few pages of the textbook, or bound together with the book in a separate kit. Used books will not have access codes.
  • When is the best time to buy textbooks? Textbook prices are the most economical during non-rush times. Try to order between February - July or October - November.
  • Which textbooks buybacks are worth more money? There isn't a rule on which books are worth the most. We suggest checking the price on any book you are finished with. You may be surprised how much cash you have laying around!
