If your textbook is eligible and in reasonable condition, bring it to the shop AT NAIT store during store hours, and we'll buy it back from you! Buyback is cashless, so you'll need to bring a debit card to process the payment. You'll also need to bring your one AT NAIT card.

What condition do my books need to be in?
Books should be in reasonable condition; the cover should still be attached, the spine intact, and no missing pages. In textbooks, highlighting, notes and markings on the pages are fine, as long as they don’t affect the legibility of the text. Workbooks and study guides, however, are typically only purchased back if they are free of all markings. Binder ready or loose leaf books need to be in original packaging. Course-packs and ILM’s are not eligible for buyback.

Why won't you buy back my book?
There are a few reasons we may be unable to purchase your textbook back:

• The book has not been readopted for the upcoming term(s)
• The book has courseware (Pearson MyLab, McGraw Connect, WileyPLUS, etc.)
• The edition of the textbook has changed or the book is now out of print
• The course using the particular textbook is not being offered next term
• The store is overstocked on that specific title

Can I sell books at buyback that I purchased used?
Yes! It doesn’t matter if you purchased your textbook new or used; as long as the textbook is in demand and in reasonable condition, we will buy it back.

How much will I get for my books?
If your book is needed for the next term at NAIT, we’ll buy it for up to 50% of our new retail price.
