Is the Used Textbook Association really a self-serving organization designed to protect bottom line of textbook wholesalers?
No. It is common in almost every industry to have an association represent its members on important issues. The Used Textbook Association was formed to support the needs of bookstores and help in their efforts to help communicate this message. The intention of the founding members is to actively involve bookstore managers in the strategies and tactics utilized to communicate the role and value of used textbooks to achieve textbook affordability. In addition, we hope to turn the Association over to bookstore managers to operate and manage within several years of creation.
