I grew up in a college bookstore and I’ve now spent over twenty years laboring in it. Over the years I’ve seen the price of a new textbook increase at twice the rate of normal inflation. I’ve seen the agony this has caused on countless faces. Students today dread the book buying process and leave the store feeling forcibly separated from their hard earned cash.

The industry today has become so clouded by conflicts of interest, it’s hard to determine who has your best interest in mind. It’s my intention to show you the insider’s view and speed your trip through the learning curve.

Once you understand how the industry works, you can set your own objectives and make your own decisions. I’ll give you all the resources you need to begin saving money immediately. Heck, if you’re motivated enough you might even be able to make money from some of your books!

Thanks for the opportunity, I'm honored to be your guide, Griff Kull
