"Textbook Exporters"

Good Morning,

We will have a book buyer in your area this Thurs/Fri buying books from faculty and staff. If you have any unwanted current edition textbooks our rep will be happy to stop by and make a cash offer for them. We are also able to buy instructor/exam copies.

If you would like to make an appointment please reply with your availability and a location that is convenient for you. Our rep can meet off campus if your books are located at home or elsewhere. This is by appointment only so our rep will not be stopping by unless you reply and request an appointment.

Thanks and have a great day!

Jessica Williams

    Are Pearson, Middle Tennessee State University, and Textbook Exporters all in cahoots now?

    1. The last part of the unsubscribe link was anonymized with gibberish (by me).

    1. I wonder. There was no other contact info besides the sender's email address. And MailChimp (list-manage.com) tends to be pretty serious about being opt-in/anti-spammer.

    2. Hm. I doubt MTSU knows anything about it either way. Maybe one of those "work from home" scams for students because the .edu address is less likely to get shunted to a spam folder?

  3. The spelling of extorters is wrong…

    1. Only exceeded in nuisance, unction, and venality by the publishers' reps.

    2. Maybe there's some kind of career progression here?

      Perhaps a successful stint as one moves you up the ladder to the other. No idea which is the higher position, though.

  5. Tell me about it. During book buying season we have to lock our office doors: somebody (possibly the sellers themselves) have come into our offices and helped themselves to textbooks off our desks.

    Happened about 3 years ago.

  6. I get these emails from time to time as well. I can't remember the last time a publisher sent me a book for my consideration. In two of my courses, there's a faculty author in my department so that may have something to do with it. At least they're saying the rep won't come unless requested, so I have to give them that.
