BKS has the bookstores in colleges around here. It is where most of the textbooks are sold bought back and resold, in addition to the new books that are purchased. My friend just spent $140 for 3 used textbooks. Now I'm assuming BKS does this across the country at other campus bookstores, I don't know exact numbers for margins but these text books carry a hefty price new or used! That's just a niche that BKS has and I think the textbooks are a cash cow for them. *< ><<
