July 22, 2020Books by eCampus, an online bookstore solution by eCampus.com, has announced the winner of its popular textbook buyback giveaway, awarding the grand prize of free pizza and textbooks for a year to Emily Sauer of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

“The Books by eCampus Online Bookstore has helped me a lot because it makes getting my textbooks easy,” said Emily Sauer, who attends Miami University’s Hamilton, OH campus. “When I am done with my textbooks I know I can always sell them back and then get my next set.” Miami University has been a valued Books by eCampus partner since 2017, where students are able to take advantage of a 24/7 online bookstore offering free next-day shipping to campus of their professor-selected course materials.
“Students are our priority and eCampus.com is committed to providing a reliable Online Bookstore experience that offers students the ability to both purchase and sell textbooks from the convenience of their homes,” said Matt Montgomery, President and CEO of eCampus.com. “At a time when “normal” is being redefined, eCampus.com remains a trusted source for course materials, offering students a chance to be celebrated in the process.”
