(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 28, 2012 ) Gainesville, FL -- College students can now save money on their college textbooks at an easy-to-find website, Textbooks.org. The website makes it easy to find cheap textbooks with its price comparison search tool and list of college textbook vendors. According to Textbooks.org spokesman Steven Kennedy, students should be able to save significant money on their university textbooks.

“Textbooks.org has access to thousands of cheap textbooks,” Mr. Kennedy says, “as well as discounted used textbooks and sources to rent textbooks. College students can find cheap textbooks according to the university or college that they attend.

Textbooks.org has information on the most prestigious universities and colleges in the country, such as UConn and the University of Florida. In addition to comparing prices online from over 30 merchants, students can find off-campus locations to locally buy their college textbooks.”

The website explains that this comparison method of buying college textbooks gives students confidence they are buying the right books for their classes at the best prices. It also gives them peace of mind that they will get their textbooks in time for class with expedited shipping and local bookstore options, Kennedy said.

Textbooks.org offers these same students the ability to crosscheck the best offers for selling their used textbooks with its used textbooks buyback price finder. This helps students learn the market value of their college textbooks so that they get fair prices when reselling them.

In addition to buying new and used textbooks, college students have the option to rent textbooks from various vendors either locally or online through Textbooks.org. When renting textbooks, students pay reduced rates and only keep books for the semester or series of classes. If a student wishes to purchase a textbook afterward, he or she has that option as well.

Saving money on college textbooks is smart to prevent the cost of college from getting out of hand. According to CNN.com, college tuition rose 8.3 percent for the 2011 fall semester. By saving money on college textbooks from Textbooks.org, students will have more money and less debt the next semester they choose to look for college textbook discounts.
