About Textbook Turnaround

Textbook Turnaround is an independent publication about one specific, surprisingly deep business: buying and reselling used textbooks and books on Amazon. Our guides cover the whole journey, from scanning your first book at a library sale to running a reselling operation with real systems, taxes, and metrics.

What we cover

We organize the site into topic clusters so you can go as deep as you need: getting started, sourcing, fees and profit, FBA and shipping, listings and condition, tools, selling your own textbooks, comparisons, business operations, international marketplaces, and training resources.

How we make money

We're reader-supported through affiliate partnerships. When you register for the free Book Profits training through our links and later buy its paid program, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That relationship never changes the facts we report. See our affiliate disclosure.

Independence

Textbook Turnaround isn't affiliated with Amazon.com, Inc., BookScouter, Chegg, eBay, or any other marketplace we write about. We aren't owned by Book Profits, Inc. Our editorial policy explains how we research and update our guides.
