HOW DO WE DETERMINE WHAT TEXTBOOKS
TO ORDER
We strive to have, at minimum, enough books for everyone who wants one, before the
first day of classes. To achieve this goal, we carefully review all the information
available to us. This includes the quantity you want, the sales history of both the
book and the course, and pre-enrollment figures. We do not adjust the quantity you
request arbitrarily. Our thorough examination process is used to determine the
number of books that will fulfill the needs of every student who wishes to buy the book.
At the same time, we strive to reduce the number of excess books sent back to the
publishers. Publishers assert that there is a direct relationship between the high
costs of handling excess books (returns) and high priced textbooks. By trying to
have at least enough books for everyone who wants one, without tremendous excess, we hope
to help publishers curb the steep rise in textbook prices.
