Here is what others have said about BookVolume…

“With BookVolume, we have been able to discount used textbooks more than 10% while still increasing margins.”

Ritch Bentley, Associate Bookstore Manager, Grand Valley State University

“I first heard about BookVolume in early 2010. I sent Kimberly an email and introduced myself. She immediately responded, and we have doing a growing business together ever since.

That is my impression of BookVolume: excellent customer service. The system is still not perfect, but it seems to always be getting better. The two people I have dealt with at BV, Oliver and Kimberly, get it. They know the business of buying and selling books. They listen to my concerns and either help me or look into ways to improve the system. I own a bookstore on a college campus of only 2,800, yet those two have treated me wonderfully. I think I have taken up an inordinate amount of their time, but they have never made me feel that way.

It has been very impressive. Anyone that is in the college textbook business knows that- for now- used books are key. Working with BV has made attaining them much cheaper and easier.’

Trevor Smith, Flagler College Bookstore

“I have worked with your company in the past at a previous store that I managed, and I know that you provide a great service to bookstores, so thanks again and keep up the good work!!!”

“It seems very useful and I really like the purchase tracking end of it–I haven’t seen that in any other programs out there.”

Shelly Mosurinjohn, Business Services Utility Clerk, Calvin Campus Store

“Once I made the decision to start using online buying software, I was able to get a tremendous volume of product for a fraction of the cost. I merged the market price, the wholesale price and buyback to to stay competitive. Through advertising, our store showed students the savings that we were passing on to them, and that was all it took.”

Patty McCray-Roberts, Bookstore Manager, Peninsula College

“I found that if you add ‘for positive feedback please include packing slip’ in the second shipping field at check out, you can pretty much guarantee you will receive a packing slip each time.”

Brian Fetterman, Book Manager, California State University Long Beach

“Having a system that can produce reports will show us what our outstanding items are and who the outstanding sellers are, it makes invoicing much cleaner.”

Marianna Mullens, Book Buyer, Reed College

“The percent of list price filter protects us from overpaying for books, or, alternatively when list prices rise, from missing out on books we would have normally purchased.”

Richard Andrade, CEO and Founder, BarristerBooks

“BookVolume’s seller mapping feature is invaluable. There is nothing like ordering your
desired quantity and having half of those orders come back as canceled because a seller
has listed the same copy on 4 or 5 different marketplaces under different seller names.
The seller mapping tool allows you to not only flag those sellers for your
future use, but also help other book buyers who are playing in the game of
online buying.”

Heather Gillespie, Textbook Buyer, Lewis & Clark Bookstore

“We can’t keep paying $50 for books that are $10 online.”

Suzanne Donnelly, Associate Director, Bronco Bookstore

Tony Glaab, Associate Manager, Grand Valley State University

“This is amazing. I can’t believe how much information you have in one place.”

Heather from Oregon, Bookstore Buyer

“… I have joined the BookVolume revolution! I started using BV the same day I signed up. My initial response is that this is an AWESOME program! I already have one course that is begging for an older edition I can only get from the wholesale companies for $35.00 guess how much BV helped me find it for? Come on take a guess you know you wanna? Ok I’ll tell you BV found a seller on Amazon that had all the copies I need for $13.00 each! I truly hope in the long run I can make good use of this program and not just be all giddy now.”

Ray Hancock, Store Buyer, Yakima Valley Community College
