TAMARADELLAR Huron Shores "How can I get the most money back for my used books?" This is a question most college students ask themselves. Here are some inside tips fromACC Book- store Manager, Bill Matzke. Return books as soon as you are done using them to study for final exams. If your book is current for the follow- ing semester, ACC will refund 50% of new book price for the number of used books it needs for the next semester. After ACC's quota is met, additional returned books might be purchased, through the bookstore, by another company that buys excess college books at a lower price. Include any CDs that came with your book when origi- nally purchased. Some com- panies will not buy back books without the CDs in- cluded. For students who have ex- perienced problems in buy- ing or selling books during the short time period at Huron Shores Campus, there is some good news. According to Bill Matzke , a s o l ut i on is being worked out for a "perma- nent pre ence" there. Plan are to have a book tore s taffed throughout the semester with a n inven tory of books. lothes. and sup- plie like the bookstore at the Alpena Campus.
