Book libraries have been the trend since a long time now, where novels, informative books, journals and other reference books could be rented out, referred and returned. The simple concept behind such an activity is to save up costs on buying the required book each time you need something! It is practically impossible to keep buying books just because you need them for a speculated time period.
Let’s apply this concept to the education mainstream- textbooks are the soul of any educational course that one takes up. And as the number of courses or course levels increase, so do the number of textbooks. Now, is it practically possible to invest in fresh books every time you upgrade your course level or choose to do any other course? Of course not; and the best alternative to buying is to rent a textbook.
College students are always looking for ways to save on their money and buying textbooks for every fall and spring semesters is no exception. In fact, a major chunk of their money is invested in buying textbooks and those who are looking for ways to practically save up on this money prefer to rent or buy textbooks cheap.
