Finding Secondhand Textbooks

Some thrift stores sell second hand textbooks, and a lot of times these books are in supurb condition. When you are finished using textbooks, unless you need them for reference, it might be possible to sell them. Like you could see if you can sell textooks at an online website like http://www.booksintocash.com, or see if you could post them for sale on one of the marketplace-style websites, or see if your local college or university might buy them. Although I'm not sure how often something like this might happen, here's a cool thought: it is conceivable that you might buy a used book at a thrift store and then sell it and end up with more than what you paid.

I retired from teaching, and now write stories for youngsters. As a teacher, I used to go to the school depository where all old books were processed and I can assure you that many books get destroyed that are new as well. Most of these book were overstock or old, but still worthy of use. I home schooled my children and found the school an excellent source. Some schools require that a teacher request the books from the depository, but that usually is not a problem, you can always find a teacher. Libraries, and even book sellers, such as the one in the picture have book barrels or tables for overstock books which is another way to get free or cheap books. My library is stocked with free books. As an author, I keep many books for my friends and neighbors to borrow. Dr Robert E McGinnis
