Reduce the price of textbooks today Spring textbook requests are due Oct. 2. Submit your adoptions online at www.und.bkstore.com, then select the faculty services tab or contact us at 777-2106. Having your course and book information by Oct. 2 allows us to pay students who choose to sell their unwanted titles 50 percent of the book price at buyback. Recycle and reuse -- the more books we buy at the end of this fall term, the more students save next term. Used books are 25 percent off the new book price. If you adopt the text alone (instead of a textbook package or bundle), more students actually buy it. Recent studies conducted by Student Monitor indicate that 77 percent of students would choose to purchase the text alone if given the option. With early information, we can notify you of publisher stock situations, edition changes, and out-of-print titles. Our used textbook inventory for this past fall semester was over $1 million. The savings to UND students based on that inventory was over $337,000. This has only been possible because of your concern and support by turning in textbook requests as early as possible. Thank you for your continued support. -- Michelle Abernathey, General Manager, Barnes & Noble at UND, abernathey_17@hotmail.com, 777-2103
