HOW TO FIND NEW & USED CHEAP TEXTBOOKS

  • 1-Circle-icon

    Search for your textbook online.

    Perform an ISBN book search to locate the correct textbook.

  • 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).

  • Compare textbook prices.

    Wondering where to buy cheap textbooks online at a price lower than ours? Check out our online peer-to-peer marketplace. You may sometimes find textbooks for cheap, at prices even less than our rental inventory. The marketplace is a great resource to find cheap books, including cheap textbook rentals, etextbooks, digital access content, textbooks in new condition, and cheap used books.

HOW DO I FIND MY ISBN NUMBER?

  • yellow check

    Your ISBN is either 10 or 13 digits and unique to a specific item. Our search bar can accept both formats.

  • The ISBN is often located on the back cover, next to the barcode.

  • Different editions have different ISBNs, as well.

  • Books with the same title often have different ISBN numbers.

  • Professors will typically supply the ISBN in the course syllabus. If not, we suggest asking them for it.

  • Perform an ISBN book search to find textbooks accurately.

New & Used Textbook FAQs

No. There is no fee to use PayPal.
The biggest reason for expensive textbooks is that new editions limit the sale of used textbooks. That's why we have spent over 20 years working with publishers to get you the best price possible, whether it's a new edition, used textbook, or eTextbook.
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.
Textbook prices are the most economical during non-rush times. Try to order between February - July or October - November.
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 lying around!

The ‘rent for a quarter’ option was just what I needed, and the books got here within a few days of my order. Awesome experience.
