College classes are stressful enough for students. Buying textbooks shouldn’t be Text Book Stop aims to stop the escalating prices of college textbooks and offers a unique approach to buying high-priced books: rent them. The simplistic business plan implemented by Text Book Stop saves college students hundreds – even thousands – of dollars every semester. The old way simply doesn’t cut it: students enroll in classes and take that long, slow walk to the bookstore in the hopes that their wallets can handle the experience. After dumping hundreds of dollars on textbooks, students are left with a heap of hardbacks after the semester is over. Only a small percentage of books actually pertain to a student’s main course of study and thus will be retained for reference. Otherwise, students must attempt to resell the books back to the bookstore at a fraction of what they paid. Text Book Stop boasts an epic library of textbooks that students can easily navigate through and choose what they need. There’s no obligation to buy but rather borrow these books for as long as they need them. Buying certainly is an option, however, but Text Book Stop doesn’t price gouge the starving college student. Instead, Text Book Stop acts more as a rogue advisor, rather than a roadblock to success. Students who opt to buy books also can sell them back to Text Book Stop. The “Rent Back Program” allows students to sell books back to Text Book Stop and then re-rent them for only $1 each. This gives students the peace of mind to know that the textbooks they need can be found at a moment’s notice. Another huge selling point of Text Book Stop is that the books available to rent aren’t used. They’re new textbooks, devoid of the annoying characteristics of used books: writing in the margins, words highlighted or crossed out. One thing students can cross off their list is a place to save money and rent college textbooks in one fell swoop. That spot isn’t the local college bookstore but rather Text Book Stop.
