Rentals
Rentals are one of several cost-saving options offered to students. Customers can rent selected textbooks in store or online and save up to 80 percent off the new book selling price. Students simply rent the book through the bookstore website or in the bookstore and then check the book in at the end of the term. Visit the bookstore website at www.cptc.edu/bookstore for details.
Used Book Buy Back
A Book Buy Back service is offered for students who do not wish to keep their textbooks. The value of a book is determined by the demand for that title nationally. Students can receive up to half the current value. The bookstore does buyback on a daily basis, but the best time is during the last 2-3 weeks of each quarter. The prices paid back to students and the selected titles are based on a number of criteria. See the bookstore for details.
The bookstore is located in Building 23
