What is textbook rental?

Getting an education costs more than ever before and books are big ticket items. (Like we needed to tell you that.) So your campus bookstore is offering textbook rental through Rent-A-Text, saving you more than half off the sales price on every single book you rent.

Rent-A-Text began at a few college campuses in 2009 and quickly became a huge success. (Turns out students like saving money. Go figure.) It's currently available in over 800 schools nationwide.

Because your campus bookstore is the only bookstore with direct access to your instructors’ book lists, it – and only it – can guarantee that the books you rent are the right ones for your classes. And unlike online rental companies, your campus bookstore carries all your other course materials too. As in one-stop-shopping. With Rent-A-Text, you pick up your rental textbooks at the bookstore instead of having them shipped, so there’s no waiting by the mailbox for them to show up. And no shipping costs either, which means more money in your pockets.

Sweet.
