1) Things you need to pay attention to:

• Loose-leaf editions

Loose-leaf / a la Carte editions frequently have ISBNs of hardcovers or paperbacks in them, and it often confuses students who are willing to sell them. Correct ISBN of a loose-leaf may be located on the copyright page or on the back cover. Some loose-leaf editions are custom made and do not have a separate ISBN and therefore, cannot be accepted for buyback as they cannot be given a quote.

• Multiple volume sets

If your book has only one ISBN and it corresponds to a set with many volumes, then you need to send us the whole set. We cannot accept only one book from the whole set for buyback if it does not have a separate ISBN and therefore, cannot be quoted.

• Stickers and tape

All tape and stickers including ones containing ISBNs must be removed from the book before quoting and sending it. Stickers may state incorrect information about the book: i.e. conceal the original ISBN or markings indicating that the item is an exam copy or an instructor's edition which are not accepted for the buyback.
