What Is Pre-Ordering?

Pre-Ordering with Dynamic makes textbooks simple! Avoid searching for your books and waiting in long lines by having us pull your books for you ahead of time at no extra charge. Pre-ordering your textbooks is also the surest way to get as many used books as possible and to save the most money.

What Are The Advantages of Pre-Ordering?

Lieberman’s Dynamic Bookstore pulls your pre-order before students come back for class which gives you the first access to used books.  We have the largest selection of USED books at West Chester University, and these books fly off the shelves because they are so much cheaper! Make sure you get your used books by ordering early. All you need is a class schedule and you’re ready to order. Click HERE to get started.

Make sure to get your pre-order in early so you can save some money on your textbooks!

We carry all the books that are required for all summer sessions, fall semesters, and spring semesters, and we guarantee to beat SSI’s prices on these textbooks, as well as carry TWICE as many USED books.

As for our return policy, we offer 100% returns on all textbooks for the entire 1st week of class…no questions asked, and 100% full returns for the 1st two weeks of class with proof of a dropped class. This is the return policy for the both fall and spring semesters.

All you have to do is compare prices, number of used textbooks, policies and customer service, and you will see why Lieberman’s Dynamic Bookstore has been students #1 choice for textbooks for 16 years.

During all freshmen and transfer orientations, Dynamic staff will be on campus handing out free t-shirts, ice cold bottled water, and Rita’s Water Ice to welcome our new students and their parents to West Chester University.

There are two bookstores here at West Chester and we’re here to introduce ourselves to new students and parents who might not hear about us otherwise. We will be out on the corner of Church St. & Rosedale Ave. from 8am – 5:00pm on all new student orientation days.

Lieberman’s Dynamic Bookstore services the students of West Chester University of Pennsylvania. WCU students have made us their # 1 choice for the cheapest West Chester textbooks.

Attend another college or university and your school bookstore wasn’t buying your textbooks? Bring them to Lieberman’s Dynamic Bookstore – anytime of the year! We buy books all year round, whether they’re from this past semester or several semesters ago, used at West Chester University or another school, or just books you’ve accumulated and don’t need any more.

If you need some extra cash and have books to sell, stop by and see us. We pay top dollar for your used books!

How are buyback prices calculated?

Buyback prices can vary based on several factors:

• If a book is being used the following semester, we will pay a higher price, sometimes up to 50% of the used price!
• Supply and Demand – each bookstore has a quota for used books.  Once they buy back that quantity, the price often defaults to a wholesale price determined by wholesale book companies.
• Edition changes – If a new edition of the book you are selling back is due to come out, wholesale values drop.
• Condition of book – Unfortunately we cannot buy back wet or damaged textbooks, and in some cases, study guides that are heavily marked or have pages missing.

Should I sell my West Chester textbooks back now or wait for a later time?

Generally, it is best to sell back your textbooks as soon as possible.  If you intend to re-read the text, use it for a future course, or use it for reference, then you should hold on to the book.  However, when you keep the book, you take the chance of having the book’s value decrease.  The depreciation can be due to several factors, such as the book having a large stock available, being an old edition, or having a new edition pending.

My friend just sold their book back for a higher price than mine, what’s the deal?

Most college bookstores only need a certain number of textbooks per semester.  Once we hit our quota for textbooks needed, the price of the text usually defaults to a wholesale price.  The key to getting a higher price is to sell your books as soon as you know that you no longer need it.  Generally, this means early on during finals week.

Why are custom textbooks often not bought back?

Custom textbooks are made specifically for the university–often particular to a professor and their course section.  These specially-made books can change between semesters.  Moreover, there are no wholesale prices for the nationwide vendors, since they are not able to sell it to other schools.  Occasionally, a custom textbook does get reused here at WCU, in which case, we would offer to buy it back.

Why can’t we sell back International Editions, Advance Copies, or Teacher’s Editions of textbooks?

Most of those International Editions, Advance Copies, or Teacher’s Editions do not have wholesale value, and  cannot be sold or re-sold in the U.S.   Many professors frown upon bookstores for selling these books and there is significant legal pressure from publishers, as well.

Why do I need the CD for my textbook to sell it back?

Without the CD, the textbook loses its value and may become unsellable to future students, who may actually need the CD for use in their class.

We believe that Dynamic has the best overall deal for you when it comes to selling back your WCU Textbooks, but we encourage you to find out for yourself by shopping around and comparing prices.

If you’re having a problem finding used books, ask a store manager if we have more used coming in.  There are many titles that we will continue to order additional used copies of.  We know you prefer used, so just be diligent and check!   There are a ton of used books coming so don’t hesitate to ask!
