We’ve heard your cries.
Every semester we speak with thousands of students about their textbook needs. We ask how their bookstore is treating them, how their off-campus bookstore treats them (if they have one), and whether they’re happy with their textbook options.
In our experience, students are unhappy with their textbook options at 98% of the schools we visit. The happy 2% attend a school that really pays attention to their textbooks needs and fights to get them great prices when they buy and sell. If students are happy, we simply move on to where we’re needed more.
Well, Union, your fellow students told us they’re not happy with their textbook options. So we’re coming to town!
Ready for a great deal?
It’s simple: Bring us your books. We tell you what they’re worth. You decide which ones to sell. We give you cash. No pressure! For more info, check out How to Sell Your Books to BookFool.com.
Is this for real?
You know it! This semester we’re set up by Starbucks on Vann Drive, beside Baskin-Robbins and across from Chick-fil-A. Can’t miss it! And there’s plenty of parking.
If you’re ready for a great deal on your used books, come by May 17, 18, 19, and 20. We’re open from 8am to 6pm. Give us a try and send your friends!

Emory University Textbook Buyback
Emory University, you now have a choice where to sell your used books. This is our first semester serving Emory and we’re thrilled with our location: Beside Dave’s Cosmic Subs. We keep hearing the same thing from Emory students who sell to us: “Thank you! We never had another option before. Thank you for coming here!”
And our response is always, “No, Thank YOU!” We only exist because of you. We’re honored to be here. Of course, you could always sell to this charming person we found on Craigslist:
BookFool promises never to scream at you.
If you’re tired of being pushed around by angry book buyers, give BookFool a try.
In other Emory news, we’ve heard reports of a colorful Fool riding around town, causing all kinds of mischief. Our only evidence is this video shot on the scene:
Jenny Tell the Truth
The most ridiculous of our new flyers also has a story behind it. Jenny, Tell the Truth:
Jenny Tell the Truth
On our drive to the warehouse, there’s a sign where people can leave various messages to friends. One says “I love SARAH” in big colorful letters. Then there’s “Jenny Tell the Truth,” scrawled in Sharpie on a white background.
We have no idea who Jenny is (or if she ever ended up telling the truth), but the phrase “Jenny, Tell the Truth” worked its way onto one of our flyers and is now going out to campuses across the country. It’s also becoming a byword around the office for encouraging people to be honest. You really ate the whole thing? Jenny, tell the truth.
Poor Jenny.
BookFool’s 100% Return Guarantee
It’s been a busy selling season here at BookFool.com. We strive to get all orders out the door in one business day or less, which means we’re usually shipping on Saturdays (and some Sundays) just to keep up with the demand. Students need their books and they need them fast!

A month ago, we took a hard look at our return policy and made a major change. In the past, anyone could make a return and receive a portion of their purchase price (often 100%) depending on the age of the order and whether we made a mistake or they did.
Well, this was confusing. Some even found it annoying.
We kept putting ourselves in the unfortunate position of having to ascertain who was at fault before every return, which seriously complicated our customer service efforts and more than doubled our load of emails. Of course we would always defer to customers who said that BookFool was at fault, but it still required more emails than it should have to resolve the situation.
So we simplified everything. Meet the Foolish Guarantee:
Within 30 days of purchase, if you return your book in the same condition as when we shipped it, we will refund 100% percent of your purchase price and reimburse you $3.99 for return shipping, for any reason! We only ask that you contact us for a Return Authorization before shipping anything back to us.
100% return guarantee + free return shipping. We want you to buy with confidence! What do you think?
