With School’s Semesters coming to an end it’s time to sell back textbooks. Socially conscious online bookseller Better World Books not only buys back textbooks at a better rate, it benefits global literacy and the environment.
Here’s how it works:
- Go to the site’s BuyBack page
- Enter your textbook’s 10- or 13-digit IBSN code and click “Price My Books”
- Choose how you want to be paid
- Select the literacy partner you want your buyback to benefit and decide if you would like to make an additional contribution to that partner’s literacy initiatives
- Print your pre-paid USPS Media Mail label and packing slip
- Drop your books in the mail
- Get paid!
Why do it this way?
- You’ll make more money than you will at your school’s bookstore (the founders of Better World started the company as college kids themselves looking for more cash for textbooks).
- Better World Books benefits global literacy and the environment. When the company resells a student’s used textbook, part of the revenue goes to the literacy partner (like Books for Africa) that the student selected when selling back his book.
- Better World Books spares textbooks from a landfill by putting them back in the use cycle – and if they can’t sell them, they’ll recycle them.
To date, Better World has raised over $7 million for global literacy groups, and spared over 33 million books from landfills! So make sure you check them out today!
