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.
