College Textbooks Metamorphosis

College students today are no longer forced to pillar and plunder through textbooks at their university bookstore. A college education has always cost a bundle, but it seems that today the costs on the sideline are almost more insurmountable than paying for the actual courses. There are building use fees, computer use fees, textbooks, living expenses, and on and on. It is no wonder that parents' heads are spinning when the final tally hits their pocketbooks! At Books Are Here, we strive to stop the spinning in at least one of those areas: TEXTBOOKS. Our goal is to provide a one stop book shop for you to be able to do your own comparison shopping among the leaders in online college bookstores offering options of buying new or used physical textbooks, renting physical textbooks, or downloading eTextbooks or Kindle books.

  • BOOKBYTE

    • Specializes in used college textbooks (but carries K-12 textbooks) with discounts of 25% – 45%. Bookbyte offers customers fast same day (within 24 hrs) shipping with a 14 day from the date of delivery “no-question” return policy. They also provide fully industry-trained, LIVE, in-house customer service representatives for your convenience.

  • CAMPUS BOOK RENTALS

    • A quote from Fox Business about CampusBookRentals.com pretty much sums it up: "Textbook rentals are a very good way to save students money immediately, but it was always difficult to set them up on campuses because they had such a high overhead cost. Maintenance is difficult, and you need a lot of faculty buy in because they have to commit to using a single book for a long period of time. But when you look at a national Web site that is able to cater to a number of different universities and a number of different classes, that overhead cost-per-book goes down." The site is very user-friendly and not only rents textbooks for up to 90% off the cost, but also provide a buy back service as well.
