Thursday, July 21. 1977 The Tar Hesl 3 Student Bookstores, Inc., provides complete selection of old, new tomes By HOWARD TROXLER Staff Writer ; Students searching for another alternative to long lines, high prices and low rates of return on books they bring back to the Student Store now have another bookstore in Chapel Hill that caters to their textbook needs. Student Bookstores, Inc., is a privately owned business that hopes to provide service to UNC students comparable or better than the present service. Owners Sylvia and Ken Stapleton believe that their stores can provide an alternative that was not present under the Student Stores system. "Anytime there's a bookstore on campus they can't be competitive," said Sylvia Stapleton. "Students just didn't have a choice." Student Bookstore provides lower prices on used books and comparable or slightly lower prices on new books than Student Stores. Student Bookstores, Inc., provides texts for every course listed this fall at UNC. They buy a list of the texts from Student Stores. This is the second branch of Student Bookstores, Inc. to open. A Durham branch has been successful in the past in a similar situation. There is no conflict between Student Stores and Student Bookstores, Inc. "They've been very cooperative," Stapleton said. The Student Stores have been criticized in the past for not paying students enough for books they sell back to the stores. Student Bookstores, Inc., provides a normal 40 buyback rate. On some books, they pay 50, and at the end of the semester they pay 50 on all books. - Student Bookstores tries to buy back all books presented. Books that are not bought back at the Student Stores can be bought back here, because it is possible the books can be used somewhere else, the owners say. A wholesale rate is applied to books that have been discontinued everywhere. I I ' ' I f l i " I : I i? r , s t I ! f H ' f rmma . i ' -u -i ' " I ;:;vi::..-.:,:.,, tit wV V J t rz J '4 i - ?
