About Used Books
Used books range in quality from a pristine book owned only once before by a student who treated it with care, to a book that has been owned by several students and is comfortably worn with creased pages and highlighting. A used book might have any of the following characteristics:
- Notes written in the margins
- Highlighting from a little to a lot
- Typical wear and tear
- Rounded corners
- Scrapes and scratches
- Faded cover art
- Creased pages

Rest assured that MBS Direct has quality assurance standards in place. A used book purchased from us will NOT have:
- Stains or water damage
- Missing, torn or loose pages
- Missing, torn or loose cover
- Excessive writing or marking
- A broken spine
- Torn or damaged binding

Books that come to us in such condition are rejected from our buyback program and either discarded or sent back to the last owner.
