SAVE UP TO 75 PERCENT ON BOOKS BY RENTING THROUGH SIGEP

Think textbooks are too expensive? So does SigEp. That's why SigEp members and friends can rent their textbooks through our online textbook rental service, SigEp Textbook Rental, found at http://textbooks.sigep.org and powered by BookRenter. Renting textbooks typically saves students an average of 75 percent off the price of the book, which can mean thousands of dollars over a college career. Renting from SigEp Textbook Rental also helps to support SigEp programs. This is just one more way SigEp can be a valued partner in higher education.

The service has access to more than 5 million high-quality U.S. edition titles. It’s easy to use and your books will arrive at your door within a few days. Standard shipping is free both ways for orders over $100, and almost any book is available in two days using the Express Plus shipping option. Return shipping is always free. It’s basically like Netflix for textbooks.

Members can choose from five time periods to rent textbooks. They can also extend rentals or buy books outright at any time, and rental fees apply towards the purchase price of the book. This means members never pay more to rent than the purchase price of a book. Members can also write or highlight in their rentals just as with purchased books—just don’t turn it into a work of art.

Our textbook rental service powered by BookRenter also offers a 5-Star Satisfaction Guarantee. That means members can return books for any reason within 21 days, no questions asked. Members are guaranteed that they will be happy with the quality of their books (or they’ll be shipped another at no cost).

Over 100 college bookstores at schools like the University of Texas-Austin, University of Kansas, and Arizona State University have also chosen BookRenter to power their textbook rental service, so members can be assured of a quality experience along with savings.
