Why does the bookstore only have limited number of used books?
There are many factors that go into the decision on how many used textbooks to stock for a course. We never want to purchase more textbooks, new or used, than we think that we may need for a course. Thus, if the Bookstore already has a number of new textbooks left from a previous semester then a smaller number of used books will be purchased for resell to the students. We try to purchase used text before ordering new text.
