How To Guides

Shopping & Checkout

Our goal is to make finding the right book at the right price as easy as possible. Here are just a few quick tips of how to use our site, checkout and make the most of your Textbooks.com shopping experience.

Finding Your Books
The fastest, most accurate way to find the right textbook is by searching by ISBN. You may search for one ISBN or multiple ISBNs at once. The ISBN may be 10 or 13 digits and may be provided by your professor or can be located on the back cover of any textbook. See a sample.

If you prefer to shop by keyword, here are a few ways to optimize your search:

  • Search by single words. Sometimes complex phrases can limit your results.
  • Don't encapsulate terms. Remove punctuation such as quotation marks, apostrophes, etc.
  • Search by author last name only. If there is more than one author, try using only the first author's last name.

What is ''List Price?''
The List Price is often the price publishers set for a particular book or textbook. If a List Price is not set by the publisher, the List Price is the price at which the textbook would most likely be offered in a college bookstore. At Textbooks.com, we offer textbooks at prices lower than List Price every day. Plus, programs like Guaranteed Cash Back, 10% Bonus Buyback & Free Shipping make sure you always have more cash in your pocket when you shop at Textbooks.com.
