"As schools and colleges start a new
academic year, buy second hand textbooks online at cheaper rates across a wide
range and good quality."
As the new academic year begins, and
the rush among students to buy fresh sets of textbooks increase, chances are
that you might miss the bus to find the right titles, in time for your first
lecture. Worse, you might end up buying new books, and give it away to the
scrap dealer at the end of the year. To put an end to such a cycle, and to
promote a healthy exchange of knowledge, many online second hand book portals
are doing their bit. Such portals allow you to buy second hand books at cheaper
rates (almost half of the MRP). Likewise, few portals give you the option to
sell books, as well as earn a few bucks. These titles range from academic
textbooks to fiction and non-fiction books.
The guide picks:
1) graffittibooks.com:
They allows you to buy books from
those people who posted an advertisement in their site. It works similar to olx
and quikr. If you want to sell a book, just post an ad in the site. People who
want to buy the book will contact you. The best thing is they will give you
cash as mobile recharge when you post book ads for sale.

5) Friends of Books: They
follow a slightly different concept as they work as a lending library. You rent
the book according to a subscription plan that could be for a month or year,
depending on what plan you take. After the book is rented, it can be returned
while another set of books can be ordered depending on the subscription pack.
They deliver throughout India; delivery in Delhi/NCR region is free. They stock
all genres of books.
