Hope everyone’s summer has been great!

As we approach the new school year, we’re doing our very best to ensure that as many people as possible can benefit from our events. As such, we are in the process of setting up an online forum where people can post for sale ads for their used textbooks, or even ask us about anything in general. You will find the link both below and along the sidebar to the right.

Additionally, we have set up both a twitter account and a facebook page for you social media-savy folks. So be sure to follow/like us!
