Got used bookstore (aka."the other bookstore")

[ThePrez]

I was just wanting to know who uses the bookstore on Elgin?  They might give us a money back from every team member that buys their books from there, so I want to know if it would be worth the effort to set up.  Who would use it if they knew that 5% off their total would be donated to the cycling team?

I will be honest and say I typically do not buy any of my books from the store.  I normally buy my books online and save more than what discounts and rebates and donations The College Store offers.

Having said that, things such as lab assignments and packets that are created only for certain UH classes, I do buy at the bookstore on campus.  If we decide to go through with this deal, I will make the short drive over and log my purchases at The College Store.

I buy my school supplies and text books their, if I can't borrow the book I need from a friend.

I bought my books at Got Used^tm and saved!  Seriously, my Chem text was about 45 dollars cheaper than the Barnes & Noble bookstore, so I'm already a fan.  I became even more of a fan when the free t-shirts they were giving out were available in smalls.  Besides, I support B&N way too much anyway.

To be honest I also buy my books online, much cheaper. But if I need something that I cant find online i'd rather go there than the school bookstore.

I, as well, usually order my books online or check them out from the library if possible.
