The founders of textfortext.com have all been through the trials of a college education and have personally felt the pain of the outrageous textbook prices that are required.

Students can pay upwards of $800 per year on textbooks alone. There are many people you can blame for this large expense such as the teachers, the book stores, the publishers, and the authors. With expenses so high for books a lot of students have to pick and choose what textbooks they want to buy and at what expense.

Instead of sitting around complaining about the prices and paying them anyway, we decided to create a new way to get the textbooks to the students without paying for them. Trading textbooks has been around for a very long time, but at school there are usually only a limited number of friends in your social circle for you to trade with. We want to change that by expanding student's social circle with the emphasis on trading textbooks.

We would like to welcome you to TextforText.com, why buy when you can trade!!!
