The semester is just beginning, and I know students wish they could sell their books back already, but it’s never too early to start thinking about ways to get the most bang for your book. When I was in college, I made the mistake of selling my books back to the bookstore.

It can help students save money and earn some back at the end of the semester. The best part? It’s free! All you have to do is enter the ISBN number, click and compare.
