College is one of the best times in a student’s life. It is a time to discover your interests, make new friends, go to football games, and spend long nights studying. However, the economy is at a low, the cost of tuition keeps rising every year, and students have to pay for textbooks at ridiculously high prices. The average college student at a four year college spent $1,077 in 2008-09 for textbooks according to the College Board. Textbook expenses have become a great burden for students in today’s world; textbook authors are constantly developing new editions to their books, and this makes it impossible for students to sell their books back at the end of the term. After buying their textbooks, students often find themselves stuck with the textbooks after realizing they can’t sell it back or that the sell-back amount is too little.
