Alibris Book Buyback Service Pays Students for New and Used Textbooks and
Educational Books

Book, music, and movie marketplace increases value for students over campus
bookstores and textbook renters

EMERYVILLE, Calif., May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Alibris has launched a new book
buyback service that gives students and parents increased value over college
bookstores and textbook rental programs. The online book, music, and movie
marketplace now pays customers for their new and used textbooks, literature,
study guides, and other books. Consumers can still save up to 90% when they
buy new and used textbooks at Alibris, so the buyback service closes the
buyer-seller loop and empowers customers to make money when they're finished
with a book.
