The MBS Direct Difference

MBS Difference

In 1973, as the University Book Company, we switched our focus to buying and selling used textbooks. Since then, we’ve been dedicated to supplying the resources our partner stores need in order to thrive and stay independent, from providing one of the largest inventories of used books in the industry to the latest innovations in course material management. Learn how our experience helps us create the foundation for your store’s future.
