ISBN
The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) provides unique author, title, and edition identification. The ISBN used to be a 10-digits number, but as of January 1, 2007, all ISBNs will be converted to a 13-digit number (called ISBN-13).  The Edgewood College Bookstore will be converting our system to the ISBN-13s after June 30, 2006.  You may convert your old 10-digit ISBN to the 13-digit by going to this website: www.isbn.org/converterpub.asp
The ISBN, and most ISBN-13s, can be found on either the copyright page or on the back cover of a publication. The ISBN must be included to process your textbook adoption. If you have questions regarding the ISBN or ISBN-13, please contact Trina Fischer at tfischer@edgewood.edu.

“Buyback Deadline”
Textbook adoption forms not received by this deadline will not be included on the next buyback list, and therefore will not be purchased from students on campus at a rate of 50% of current new book price. A used book wholesaler will be on hand during buyback to offer to purchase books at a rate of 0% - 30% of current new book price based on national demand.

“Final Deadline”
Textbook adoption forms not received by this deadline may result in textbooks not being available on the first day of classes. Books will be ordered as soon as possible. Please not that the time between semesters is extremely busy for Bookstore staff, which may significantly delay textbook orders received after the final deadline.

Submission of textbook adoption forms may be done by faxing your completed form to (608) 663-2850, by filling out the paper form and turning it in to the bookstore mailbox, or by filling out the online Course Material Adoption Form.  Questions regarding the textbook ordering process may be directed to the Assistant Manager at (608) 663-3208.
