What is DVC book center?
DVC Book Center works with textbook wholesale companies to secure additional copies of used books, or books that may not have been available during our campus buyback period. We also work with textbook wholesalers to help us buy more textbooks from Diablo Valley College students when Diablo Valley College instructors haven't specified a certain textbook to be used again the following semester. We rely on textbook wholesalers to purchase these books from students and for redistribution to other universities that are using the text. However, as there are costs involved with wholesalers, those texts are typically bought back at a lower "wholesale" rate (which are most often lower than our standard buyback rates).
How to find a specific book?
If you have a specific book in mind, you can easily find it by entering its title, author or ISBN in the global search box at the top of your screen and selecting "General Books" from the drop-down menu.
Is a used book a good book?
A used book is considered in good condition even when it contains highlighting, margin notes, or other markings (with the exception of study guides, which must be clean). However, books must be generally clean in appearance with no torn pages and with the cover or dust jacket intact.
