John Mitchell Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Today I had a $180 book sale pop up today that looks like it could be a textbook sale, but the word "textbook" doesn't appear in the licensing info. Looking back at my sales info, I notice that "textbook" hasn't shown up in one of my sales since 2014. Do textbook sales still exist? Are they called something else now?

Jill Morgan Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I've had a couple of textbook sales over the past year, so they are still there. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 I've had a couple of textbook sales over the past year, so they are still there. Jill I've had plenty of "Education" book sales -- including some nice iQ ones for $240 -- over the past year, but none designated specifically as textbook licenses. Back in the "good old days," $180 was the magic number for textbook sales, and they were always listed as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotoDogue Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 My last $180 sales, which I presumed was for a textbook, were Sept 30th 2015. Two dropped in on the same day. I'm not sure I've ever seen "textbook" in the license description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Batch of (5) $180 grossers week ago, all described in SummSales as: Rights Managed Country: Worldwide Usage: Editorial Media: Book, print and/or e-book Print run: Unlimited Placement: Inside Image Size: 1 page Start: 15 June 2016 End: 15 June 2041 Duration: Life of edition ...certainly these are educational...? That's exactly the same as the sale I had today. No mention of textbook or educational, but those look to be the most likely suspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
