First Time FacultyBooks Customers:

Below are a few steps to help you get started searching for textbooks, selling your textbook(s), and shipping.

Step 1: Enter Search Criteria

Enter the ISBN of the textbook (10 or 13 characters) you wish to sell in the search area (Top Middle of each page). Remember, the more narrow your author/title search, the better the results.

You can search for a price at anytime during your visit, from any page.

The "Search Results" page will display book information and pricing. If there is no price displayed, this means we are not buying that particular title at this time.

All shipments become property of Facultybooks.com. There is no return of merchandise.
 

Step 2: Begin Selling Your Textbooks

Search titles as instructed in Step 1. You must determine the condition of the textbook you are selling. New condition means clean and pristine. The results displayed will show either a price offer for new, used, and instructors edition (if available), or tell you we are not buying the book. Click on the "Add to Cart" button next to the condition you have to sell. If you do not wish to sell the retrieved title, simply start a new search.

A running dollar total will be maintained to the right of the "Cart". Repeat this process until you have finished adding titles to the "Cart".

If you have a quantity of more than 1 book, and 5 or less, simply use the drop down menu for quantity to place the total number of books.

To finish, click on "Log In and Sell Now" at the bottom of the page, "Sell Your Books Now" to the right of the cart contents, or the images of the Shopping Cart..
