Welcome to CaneBooks.com, the free online book exchange, facilitating the buying and selling of textbooks within the student community and saving you tons of money.

Prices of textbooks are steadily increasing and it is now not unusual to pay over $600 for textbooks when buying them from the bookstore. Canebooks.com is a solution to the high prices, long lines, and limitless conditions you will find at your local bookstore. Instead of giving the profit to them keep the profit yourself. If you haven’t realized it yet they are taking the same book you sell back to them at the end of the semester for 50% if you can even get that and selling it to whoever is taking the class next semester at a 100% markup. Instead of giving them the money keep it yourself!

The way the website works is simple. As a semester comes to an end, you list all your old textbooks at the price you want to sell them for. Then you wait for a student that needs your book to commit to buy it and then you are instantly sent each other’s contact information. After contacting each other you simply set a time and place to meet that is most convenient for you (maybe on campus in between classes) and exchange the book for cash. If the book that you are looking for is not listed on the website, you can add the book to your Wish List, which will notify you as soon as the book is available.

Canebooks.com was created as a necessary alternative to high textbook prices. At Canebooks.com there are no lines, no waiting, no haggling, and no unreasonable prices. Here, you, the student, set the prices and you save the money. Sellers are able to sell their books for more, and buyers are able to buy their books for less. By eliminating the middle man, Canebooks.com puts the power back in your hands. Register now and start saving!

Please help us spread the word. Stop letting the bookstore make money at your expense! The more students that use the website the more variety of books you will have to choose from, and the cheaper they will be.
