Textbooks Bookseller Central

Motivated by finding lower prices, millions of students year-after-year come to AbeBooks to buy their new and used textbooks.  Textbooks have now become the fastest growing segment of our marketplace.  We are committed to having our student customers find the right textbooks for their classes, at great prices, and to ensure that they receive them from our valued booksellers in a timely manner. -Marc Fournet, Textbooks Account Manager

We recently launched a course selector in Textbook Central so students can search for their required reading by University, Department and Course in addition to ISBN or title. Use the links on the right to learn more about this and other features to help you sell more textbooks.

Did you know that clearly-identified International Editions are permitted for sale on AbeBooks, and that labelling them as such (no abbreviations) will highlight these listings in search? Check out our Policies and Help Central for more tips for your books.

Textbook Central is the one-stop shop for students looking for your books each semester. In between the fall and winter textbook rush, we hope to meet you at CAMEX, the tradeshow organized by the National Association of College Stores each March.

Students are a unique set of buyers: they're searchers and not browsers, and speed and price play key roles in purchasing decisions. Want your buyers coming back next semester? Check out our textbook season tips.
