How are new and used textbooks/course materials priced?
Textbook prices are set by publishers. The UCSD Bookstore’s price reflects the book’s cost from the publisher plus the national standard margin for new textbooks/course materials–a margin considerably lower than that of most consumer items you purchase. Used textbooks/course materials are priced at 75% of the new price. For example, if a new book sells for $60, the price of a used copy is $45.
