As we come to the end of another school year, it's time to buy back those used textbooks to list and sell on Amazon Marketplace. To help you decide which used textbooks to include for sale on Amazon Marketplace, we have provided the following list of the Top 50 bestselling textbook titles.

These textbook ASINS were top sellers during the peak weeks of the January 2008 textbook season.* Keep in mind that due to seasonality, the books that are big sellers for the spring term (January) may not be indicative of the books that will sell in the fall term (August). Also, historical sales may not be indicative of future sales as used textbooks have a limited lifespan, so it is important to note the publication date and edition type.

For example, the second most popular selling textbook on the list Campbell's Biology (7th Edition) has been in circulation for over three years and is being replaced by the newly published Campbell's Biology (8th Edition). While both editions of this textbook have value and can be sold on Amazon Marketplace, the demand for the most recent edition (upgrade) will be greater than demand for the older edition.

When buying and selling textbooks, it is important to match the ISBN to ensure that the title and edition are correct. Sellers should also note differences in cover art when checking for matches.

The table below shows the top 10 bestselling textbook titles for January 2008.

We hope that providing information about top-selling textbook titles will help sellers be more successful in the upcoming fall textbook season. If you have feedback about this effort, feel free to write to textbook-selling@amazon.com.

Thank you for selling on Amazon.com.
