Whether you're a college student looking to buy or sell textbooks, an avid reader looking for new additions to your collection, or a savvy shopper searching for the perfect gift for a beloved bibliophile, CampusBooks is the must-have application for you!
CampusBooks is quick, easy, and smart -- a powerful free solution that saves time and money by connecting you with the best deals on the books you need and want. It can also put cash in your pocket by finding you the best buyback prices if you're interested in selling your books. It's the best of both worlds -- a tool for finding the cheapest books when you're buying and the highest prices when you're selling.
This single slender app allows you to search multiple booksellers and buyers, on the go and in real time and all from your iPhone or iPod Touch. Of course it's smart and flexible, allowing you to search by ISBN, author, title, or keywords, but it's infinitely easier and more convenient when you use the integrated barcode scanning technology. From within CampusBooks, simply use your iPhone's camera to scan any book's barcode and find your best options for buying or selling that book -- it's that easy!
So the next time you're at your campus bookstore, regular bookstore, or the library, or you see mention of a book you want in an article, just scan a book's barcode or enter info in the CampusBooks app and let it find you the best deals right then and there, regardless of where you are!

Great!!
This app is very easy to use and works great. Though I was not able to locate the particular edition of the book I needed for my first class, I know this app will be very useful since I will be looking for the best book deals every semester now that I am starting college this January. I love that it checks multiple sites to save me some research time!
Not bad...
I really like this app. It helped me find a textbook for $3.78! The scanner works well. The only problem I have so far is that the app crashes every time I try to search by ISBN. It isn't a big deal because I can still search by title and author. Other than that, this is very helpful. It even located a book at a local library. Not a perfect app but has great potential.
Good app!
I like it and it works just as it says, so far a good app and I am keeping it. Thanks!
