Buyback Information

Buyback is not just at the end of the semester; the textbook department buys back books year round.

Buyback is not just for textbooks.  Any book purchashed anywhere, not just Brown University, with a Valid Guide Price from our wholesalers is eligible for buyback.

  • This includes:
  • Hardcover books
  • Paperback books
  • Textbooks
  • Trade Books

*Remember, the online listing above is for one wholesaler only.  We have others we can check in the store, so bring all your used books into the bookstore.


Wholesale Reps

At the beginning and end of each semester, there is usually a wholesale representative in the bookstore.  Look for notices on our website and in the bookstore.
