Bookswap Dollar Sale

Monday, April 19 & Tuesday, April 20

9am-4pm, Nord 310

Every dollar earned goes directly to Engineers Without Borders

Have you ever wanted to refer back to that calculus or physics textbook that you sold at the end of freshman year because you thought you’d never use it again? Or wanted to expand your personal library with selections on topics ranging from classical literature to anthropology? If so, then you should visit the Bookswap Dollar Sale.

The Bookswap Dollar Sale will showcase the Bookswap's vast collection of more than 1000 books available for $1. (Yes, every book on display will be sold for only $1!) This selection includes general interest books, as well as older editions of textbooks that are no longer used for courses but are perfect for personal reference. This will be your last chance to purchase some of these books before they are cleared from our inventory.

The Bookswap Dollar Sale will be open 9am-4pm in Nord 310. Cash, check, and Case Cash will be accepted. Every dollar raised will be donated directly to the CWRU Engineers Without Borders chapter for use in their humanitarian projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where did these books come from?
A: Every book being sold at the Dollar Sale is property of Tau Beta Pi. Some of these books were donated directly to Tau Beta Pi by students or campus organizations. Others are books that have been donated to Tau Beta Pi after several years of sitting on the shelf at the regular Bookswap.

Q: I currently have books on sale through the Bookswap. Are the prices of my books changing?
A: No. Your books remain your property until they are sold, so we will never change the price of a book that belongs to you without your permission.

A: Cash, check, and Case Cash.
