What is "Good" Condition?
say no to nasty books! Books bought by Textbooks.com must meet the following criteria otherwise they will not be bought back. Books not in good condition or not found in the Textbooks.com price system will be destroyed or discarded.

Books in "good" condition do not have any of the following:

  • Stains of any sort
  • Disfigurement due to water/fluid exposure
  • Missing, torn or loose pages/cover
  • Excessive writing, marking or highlighting
  • Broken spine/binding
  • Any other significant damage that would prevent us from reselling it

Note: In order to receive full credit, all items included with the textbook must be included. Textbooks missing original CDs, study guides, diskettes or other loose-leaf items will not receive full credit. Decisions regarding the condition of books we receive rest solely with Textbooks.com. All decisions are final. If we decide that your book is not in good condition, we will notify you by email. You will have 7 days from the date of our email to request that we send you back a copy of the same book at your shipping expense. Please note, however, that we are unable to return the exact same copy of the book that you sent to us.
