MARQUETTE -- NMU students looking to sell back their textbooks may want to look just off campus, as a Marquette business has set up shop to give students a better deal.

Students First bookstore has placed a mobile book buy-back store in the Wright Place parking lot on the corner of Wright and Sugarloaf.
    
Employees take ISDN numbers off of books and enter them into a database to provide a price.
    
The goal of the mobile store is to raise awareness to the store's competitive prices compared to the campus's bookstore.

"We help students by offering the most competitive prices on books we sell for up to 40 percent less than any other place you can get them, and that helps students.  You know, as a student, I know saving money helps in any way possible," said Tony Parent from Students First.

Students First also has a location at the Subway near campus.
    
Both locations will be open all week from 12-5 p.m.
