Bookstore employees are now reserving textbooks for next semester because of early registration, the director of the campus bookstore said.

The UA provides a list of required textbooks to all surrounding bookstores by November 1 according to enrollment in certain courses and demand for those books, said Mike Carron, owner of Beat the Bookstore.

“There will be larger amount of books being reserved closer to the end of this semester,” he said. “There will be a huge rush of returning books as well.”

Students who return their books sooner will get half of what they paid for them according to the demand presented by the university’s list. Once that demand goes down, students will not receive a full 50 percent, Carron said.

UA bookstore officials also encourage students to bring books back in for “buy back” as soon as possible so that they can receive the full 50 percent of what the book is worth, Carron said.

“We promote [that] students bring their books back ASAP because the need is larger,” said Ali Sadeghi, director of the campus bookstore.

All the books that were bought at the beginning of this semester will be purchased back by bookstores because of the large amount of students.

“We get our inventory from the students bringing back their books and reselling them,” Carron said.

Students are the main employees at every bookstore on and around campus.

“We choose to hire college students because they are the best to relating to other students. They understand the whole process and are the only people willing to work only a couple weeks out of the semester,” Carron said.

University bookstore officials use the same concept and hire many students with many different majors and grade levels, Sadeghi said.
