The book&#8217;s value is based on demand by the Campus Store and wholesalers. Students can receive up to 50% of the purchase price back during the buyback periods.<\/p>\n<p>Students can also purchase books online through the Campus Store&#8217;s new <a href=\"http:\/\/brock.bookware3000.ca\/home-page\" target=\"_blank\">customer-friendly website<\/a>, which launched Aug. 18.

Rentals are only done in store, so students have to visit the store for further information.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there is still the option of buying used textbooks at the Campus Store.
