Welcome to the GCSU Book Exchange!

With the ever-increasing cost of new textbooks, the Book Exchange is designed to help students like you to save money when you buy and sell used textbooks. The Book Exchange allows members to connect directly with each other through an online textbook "auction". Whether you are looking to make some money back by selling textbooks for classes you've completed, or looking to save some money by buying textbooks you need directly from fellow students, the Book Exchange is a great service for you! No middleman means lower prices and higher returns - the money stays in the hands of students.

Through the Canadian Federation of Students, the Book Exchange has now gone national! You can search locally, in our region, or across the country to get the books you need for the best possible price.This service is wholly owned and operated by your Student Union and the Canadian Federation of Students. 

Costs: There is no cost to sell your books using this system. Your Student Union provides the forum for the sale with no fees for any participant.

For each book you submit for sale, you set your own price. For each purchasing student, the price set is the price paid.
