Fri Jun 28 2013At my first semester in my first year in college, buying/renting books was a new concept to me. I spent over $400 on books because I decided to rent most of them and buy brand new ones of the books I couldn't rent. I realized midway into the semester that it was a ripoff. Not only did I spend over $400 on books but I wouldn't be able to get as much of a return on the books I bought. So second semester I decided I would by all used books if possible. On the facebook group for my class, a student posted a link to directtextbook.com. I clicked and fell in love. I typed in the name of my book and it compared the prices of it from different sites. It allowed me to also go to the sites to review the conditions of the book. I ended up paying less than $200 for books and was very satisfied. I do think they should include more online sites within the search. You want to make sure you are absolutely getting a bang for your buck. Other than that it was a great tool that helped me save a lot ... Read more

Thu Jun 27 2013Great website. The best so far in price comparison! I love the price alerts and the cashback opportunities. The only thing I don't like is that it keeps signing you out. Other than that is the only one I use to find my books.

Thu Jun 27 2013Direct Textbook is a tool for students in which you can shop around for the best prices for your textbooks without blowing all your money at the bookstore. Direct textbook also offers sell backs and sometimes scholarships for students.

Thu Jun 27 2013DirectTextbook.com has served me well for quite a bit of my college career. Through them I've been able to get rental textbooks or other relevant books for my courses, enabling my tight student budget to stretch that much farther. Their prices are reasonable and their policies easy to understand; what more could the struggling student ask for? -tcynic

Mon Apr 18 2011Direct Textbook is the first place I go to for finding new and used textbooks at more reasonable prices. Most of the time the used books are so gently used they might as well be new.

Fri Apr 15 2011Direct Textbook saved me from bookstore shopping purgatory!! You know, those long lines full of gum-chewing, iPod wearing post-teens and the parents that nag them. The bookstore staff that seems to be perpetually new, so they aren't really helpful unless you are ready to hand them entirely too much money for a book you may not even need. But instead, I sat in the comfort of my home, in my pajamas on a cold, 55 degree winter morning in Phoenix, typed in a few numbers, and I was done! I'll never walk into a crowded school bookstore again, unless of course I want to spend ungodly amounts of money on a scratchy pull-over sporting my school logo that I just HAVE to have...but you know how it goes.

Fri Apr 15 2011Its a great site and has plenty of great deals on textbooks! I need alot of books for Pre-Med/Pre-Physical Therapy school and I was able to find all of them online thru Direct Textbook. I saved nearly 75% on my total book bill, reducing it from $500 to $78, plus shipping and handling, of course. Being a student with many loans already, saving money on textbooks is a great thing! The only thing I have a problem with is that its not always easy to tell if I am looking at the correct edition of textbooks. Other than that I am extremely pleased and will continue using this site for all my textbook needs. I've told all my friends about it too, so we are all saving money! More cash for retail therapy with the girls!!

Fri Apr 15 2011Direct Textbooks shows a variety of sites with their prices which is way easier than opening a lot of windows to compare prices for a textbook. All sites Direct Textbook lists are also reliable and safe to buy from as well! Direct Textbook is one of the greatest tools to use to buy used or new textbooks from!

Fri Apr 15 2011The books I received for nursing school from Direct Textbook were not only cheaper than most sites but they were received in excellent shape and I got them sooner than expected. I have two more years of school and will continue to purchase my books from DirectTextbook.com. Thank you, Tina

Sun Apr 10 2011I think that the overall service is affordable, most definitely cheaper than buying new or used textbooks. The shipment of the books wasn't precisely as fast as I thought it would be as my books arrived after the tenth day I had placed the order. Also, the books were shipped in packaging that is not reusable which makes it harder for the consumer at the time of returning the books.

Sat Apr 09 2011Just one site tells you all the prices whether you want to buy or sell a book. I have been using DirectTextbook for years. Easy to use.

Thu Apr 07 2011I love this site because it gives me a quick and easy way to compare prices across a multitude of sites. It's saved me so much time in looking up books...just wished that they didn't include international editions in the search!

Mon Apr 04 2011I needed a book for a class that each student had to have their own book (no sharing allowed) I needed the book quickly because our first test was one week from the start of class! I browsed every site looking for the best deal using ultimately my "food" money to pay for it. I found direct textbook and almost did a round-off when I saw the price! Needless to say I got my book and groceries for that month. I will definitely be a return customer. A

Mon Apr 04 2011Their great!... Spent a good amount of time looking for the best deal online, and realized that they had the others beat... and big time!! Now I go straight to their website to rent a textbook. And They send coupon deals via email and I love that too! Every penny counts in college!
by creightongirl
Mon Apr 04 2011This was super easy to use! It was great to be able to see all the prices for the books I needed side by side so that I got the best deal! I love to save as much money as I can so this helped me out a lot! College is expensive as it is buying books just adds to my debt, but with this website I was able to make that expense and debt less than many of my friends! Great job direct textbook! Keep up the good work!

Mon Mar 21 2011I always use DirectTextbook to search for the books I need. Pay full price?...No Way! I also enjoy the convenience of searching for several titles at once. The site does have a persistent error, unfortunately. They list the price for mailing paperbacks on Half.com as $3.99 instead of the correct price of $3.49. Also, shoppers need to know the sites that discount shipping costs for multiple books from the same seller. If you're trying to save Time and Money (who isn't?), check DirectTextbook before paying big bucks for books.

Fri Mar 18 2011Direct Textbooks had absolutely the LOWEST PRICE for the textbook I needed and the condition in which I needed it. I was a little nervous about ordering from a particular seller who had so few ratings (I was totally burned on another textbook website previously and as a poor, starving, student did NOT want to repeat that experience!)Direct Textbooks policy reassured me that it would be safe to do so. The description of the book's condition was completely accurate. Express shipping arrived two days after I placed my order. (I have also paid for express shipping that tookk Two Weeks to arrive!) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Direct Textbooks to anyone who is ordering a textbook! In addition, I will use Direct Textbooks to sell any of my textbooks.

Wed Mar 02 2011I think that direct textbook is a very good site, I am very glad that I was shown this site! I plan to tell a lot more people about this site--it is very helpful, and was very useful when I was shopping for books. Many blessings!

Mon Feb 28 2011Are you kidding? I never buy any kind of book anymore until I check DirectTextbook.com. I've even used it for CDs and DVDs. Saves me a lot of legwork. I've given the link to numerous people too because when I tell them how much I paid for something, they want to know how.

Wed Feb 23 2011i love this site. I used to use Chegg but they only gave me the cost for their books, so it took a lot of work going to multiple sites to compare book costs. But them I happened by Direct text book and found every thing I needed in one little site. I also like that I can link to the other sites when I like the price I see , its easy, simple and best of all fast. Thank you for your existence. I have told all of my class mates about this site :)

Fri Feb 18 2011I come on Direct Textbook as a buyer. It's so stressful looking at all the websites trying to find the best price always hoping the next one will even be $1 cheaper. Direct Textbook has a reasonable price but it's not the cheapest. I have been able to come on here and find a reasonable price but it's not the first place I would suggest to my friends. I like how you can see the total price before you cash out. It's always a bummer to think you're going to pay $14 for something and you get to the payment and the total comes up $17.30, you think wait a minute! There seems to be a wide variety of books on here. There aren't any textbooks I couldn't find.

Fri Feb 18 2011The price was fantastic and I got exactly the book I wanted in amazing quality. Shipping time, there practically was any shipping time, it arrived so fast. The only problem I faced was the internet site's complexity but I figured it out in little time.

Thu Feb 17 2011I believe Direct Textbook was a great website to find the exact book I needed and bring it to me on time. It was fast and easy and I would recommend it to anyone trying to find a book a lot cheaper than from the bookstore. Thank you so much! Now I have to go read it! :)

Thu Feb 17 2011I use directtextbook.com to save on books I buy for everyday reasons, like gifts and and for pleasure reading. It often helps me locate old or out of print books I cant find at the bookstore, while also getting the best price on them. My friends have used it to save on their textbooks too.
by bardjunkie
Thu Feb 17 2011I found it really helpful that it shows all of the prices that you can find the book for at other sites. It made it a lot easier to choose one instead of having to check all of the sites and then choose one. it gets really overwhelming that way and your site cut that down to a minimum and made it really easy to get the books that I need without feeling ripped off like I do in my college's bookstore.

Thu Feb 17 2011Direct Textbooks allows me to compare purchase and buy back prices for every major online book retailer and purchaser. It enables comparisons that include shipping and handling and provides information about available discounts. It is the first place that I look before buying or selling a book. I recommend it to all of my friends and acquaintances. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in books.

Thu Feb 17 2011DirectTextbook.com is an amazing website and the first place that I go whenever I am looking to purchase any book, not just textbooks! Of course, I always save lots of money because I am able to buy the book of my choice at the lowest price available on the net, but DirectTextbook is more than just a price comparison shopping site. Its a place to go when I need to find out the details about the book I am searching for. There is usually a picture of the book to go along with the publishing date and the ISBN numbers. This is extremely helpful when you aren't sure which edition that you looking for, but you know what the book looks like. And once you find the textbook you need, DirectTextbook.com makes it easy to purchase the complete curriculum that goes along with this book! By simply "clicking" on the "Description" tab, all of the books related to my textbook selection are displayed! How great is that? There are so many great features on this site. You can streamline your dis... Read more
