Cash back isn't real They show a cash back option for a percent of your books. I purchased a $153 book/access code mid august and my account still shows $0 as of today. Still waiting to hear back from them about the issue. Don't offer it, if it isn't going to happen.

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.

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.

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.
