Looking to add to your collection? Your community book exchange can get you the best deal, whether buying or selling. Here's how it works: If you want to sell, drop off books between 8/25 and 8/29, 12-2pm and 4-7pm, in W20-415. You set the prices and we do the rest. If your books sell, you get a check; if not, you get them back. If you want to buy, come to our temporary bookstore in W20-307 (Mezzanine Lounge) between 9/1 and 9/5, 10am-5pm. For more information, and to browse the books that have already been entered into the Exchange, visit <a href="http://apo.mit.edu/bookex">http://apo.mit.edu/bookex</a>. Questions can be directed to <a href="mailto:book-exchange@mit.edu">book-exchange@mit.edu</a>. Hope to see you there!</div>
