Each dollar your spend on a new college textbook is distributed in many ways. Most of your money, as you can see, goes to the publisher.

The bookstore uses its share to pay the salaries and benefits of its employees, and the expenses of running the store.

Another important portion goes to your school. We feel proud of the financial support the bookstore gives to this campus community.

The school gets an average of 9% of the price of each new textbook to support campus programs and/or to reduce general operating expenses and help keep tuition down.
