Edgeworn Books
Got old books you don't need any more?
Want to make some cash off those textbooks you only ever looked at once?
Bring them to Edgeworn Books!
Edgeworn Books is a brand new service brought to you by the makers of RGU: Union. Located within the shop on Schoolhill, Edgeworn is an opportunity for students to recycle and sell on any books that have been acquired throughout their university career. It is also open to non-students, and we will accept all kinds of books (except the dirty ones)!
When you bring in books, you will be asked to sign a set of clauses (see below - it's the usual legal requirements) and choose the prices for each of your books. When they sell, we will send you an email and you can receive 70% of the sale price back!
Edgeworn Books is open for sales between 8am and 5:30pm Monday to Friday, and 9am to 5pm on Saturday. Books can be submitted at the shop during this time, and also at the RGU: Union reception at other times. We will also have other Drop Points set-up during the next few weeks - stay tuned for details!
