Best way to find cheap textbooks! The direct textbook website is very easy to maneuver around. It shows the prices of all the competitive online stores in any easy to compare manner. I have used it countless times to purchase my textbooks, often saving over $100 than if I had bought them at my schools bookstore. It also saved me a lot of time from searching so many other websites separately for the best price. The MyDT option is a great way to save your textbook purchases so that at the end of the semester, getting buyback prices is easy and simple - no need to look up the ISBN's in the books again! The only thing that needs to be fixed with the site, is that for websites such as half.com/Amazon Marketplace, updated results of already sold used books should be sought after so that refunds are not needed.

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.

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.

Excellent money saver I'm surprised this site has such a negative overall rating here. The guy who gave it 1 star because he said it was deceptive should have known that nobody will buy back an excessively damaged book. Period. What a stupid reason to rate this site poorly! Direct textbook has saved me so much money when buying books and also when selling books for the most money. Most students complain they spend thousands on textbooks. I think over the course of 4.5 years in college, I didn't spend much at all. I sold back books nearly for the price I paid using direct textbook.

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.
