Makes College Easier! DirectTextbook is a fantastic website that allows you to search for textbooks in one place and gives you results from many different (reputable) sources. You can buy, sell, rent, and search for ebooks on DirectTextbook. They also had a feature last semester that allowed you to save an ISBN with their site, and they would automatically run a search on it every day to find new buyer/seller listings. This was especially helpful for me, since I had some textbooks that, even though I bought them that semester, no one seemed to be buying back. DirectTextbook helped me locate a buyer. This site's format allows you to compare prices from different sources all in one place, so you can see with the click of a button how much money 30-something different sellers will charge for your book, and it will even compare features on the sellers' sites. For instance, it will tell you if they charge for shipping and what payment methods they accept. Honestly, it's made the end-of-semester buyback process so much easier for me, and helped me recoup more of my losses.

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.

Direct Textbook is the Best book shop ever! Direct textbook is the ultimate easiest way to book shop. Every semester, I have made sure I get the best deal on my textbooks through this website. Its so much quicker than searching each individual website for prices and options. Direct textbook lays EVERYTHING out for you and I absolutely love it. This website is bookmarked in my favorites and is excessively clicked at the beginning of each semester. I don't think Direct textbook is the best way to book shop, I actually think it is the ONLY way to book shop!

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.

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.
