How to use ISBN

What are ISBNs? ISBNs are 10 or 13 digit codes identifying specific editions of a book. They're sometimes written with hyphens. Examples: 0321543254, 0-321-54325-4, 9780321543257

Where can I find a book's ISBN? ISBN codes are usually listed on a book's back cover, bar code, or copyright page.

What does an ISBN identify? Each edition of a book has its own separate ISBN. For example, each of the following would be considered a separate edition, even if they have the identical content: hardcover, softcover, large print, ebook, etc.

Why use ISBN? If an instructor recommends that students buy a very specific edition of a book, then it's best to search by ISBN. If the edition doesn't matter, it's best to search by title and author, so you can see prices for all editions.

Selling textbooks

Why sell your texbooks? Once a semester is over students find they no longer need their textbooks. Why leave them to sit and collect dust when you can sell them back and get some money back?

Can I sell any book? Some of our partners only offer money for textbooks but others will offer money for up to one million titles, just enter the ISBN of any book and see if an offer is made.

How does it work? Once you enter one or more ISBNs you will get buyback offers from multiple websites. You will be able to compare which website offers the best buyback deals and choose which company you want to sell your used books to. Next, click on the offer that you want to accept and you will be taken to the buyback partners' website.

How about shipping? All of our partners pay the shipping, so all you have to do is mail your used books to the buyback partner according to their specifications.
