Dear K.U. Students:
In a few short days the current semester will come to a close and with it the rush and confusion of finals and reports and packing and goodbyes for those who are graduating. We at the Kansas Union Bookstore have enjoyed the privilege of serving you during the past semester in both your academic and recreational requirements. We hope that in most cases our service has been satisfactory.
As you finish your finals and prepare for next semester, many of you will look at last semester's accumulation of textbooks and decide to rush down to the bookstore and convert them to cash. Before doing so, it is only fair to point out that the books you plan to dispose of have served you well as a tool to further your education. Each book has probably cost you less than the price of a Coke or cup of coffee per hour spent in the classroom and it still has substantial salvage value. The book is a tool of the trade.
There were approximately 3,000 required textbooks used at K.U. during last semester. Of that total $10\%$ will be replaced by new editions, $15\%$ will probably be discontinued and the balance, will, we hope, be used during the upcoming semester or next Fall. Those books that will be used again bring up to $50\%$ of the new price, depending, of course, on the stocks already on hand and on future needs. Those books being discontinued on the Hill will bring the best available prices offered from outside sources, again depending on the national demand. The old editions will bring very little, if anything.
So check over your books carefully. By all means keep any that might have future use. We will make the best offer possible for those that you decide to sell and if it meets with your approval, we both are satisfied.
Good luck on the finals to all of you. We hope that we will have the pleasure of serving you next semester.
Sincerely,
James H. Stoner
