Floors even had Sections for textbooks, love novels, cookbooks, and even jokes. I was even more surprised they sold Old collectables for Star Wars, Marvel, and DC.

Students may find international editions for a much cheaper price with the almost identical content manufactured with cheaper materials. Amazon and Apple released items and applications, the Kindle Fire and iBooks, which allowed readers to download digital copies on their electronic devices.
