Textbook shopping--all the prices on the web in one place together! I'm not sure I've actually bought anything straight from Direct Textbook, but I have used its search function to find my textbooks and compare the prices at various locations around the web--Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and so on. It's helped me find the best prices on books. I don't know much about renting books, since I usually buy to own (most of my books will be used in multiple courses in my program). However, it's almost always cheaper than the "used" price at the school bookstore.

Deceptive I was misled by the information DirectTextbooks displayed on their site. They prominently displayed that TextbookDollars would buy a damaged book for $80. After I sent my book to Textbookdollars they claimed that this price was only for brand new books and since my book was damaged it had zero value. They even refused to send my book back.

Easy to use website! Direct Textbook is my go-to website when I need to buy books for school. The website is easy to use and understand. I like how the website is lag free. My favorite thing about the website is the ultimate search bar. I can type in an author or a title and the book I need pops up with all the prices from various companies listed below it. I have used direct textbook for all my book purchases in college. Direct textbook has saved me over hundreds of dollars on textbooks.

Poor customer service This site is run by some crook who does not have any sense of customer service. He does not have any phone number to contact him, and he does not take care of issues by email as well. I used to buy a lot of books through this site and accumulated some points which he refuses to let me cash. I sent him a lot of emails and even tried to contact him by phone. All in vain. He refuses to oblige.

Good price comparison website for getting the least expensive textbooks and selling them back. I recently purchased textbooks through the directtextbook.com website. The website helped me find the cheapest textbooks, out of many available from around the Internet. Then when I was done with them, I used the site to find a company to buy it back at the highest price. It was easy to use and ensured I paid for, and sold, at the best price.
