Most all students wish there was a bookstore where they could sell their college books back and get more than a couple bucks and buy books for cheaper than what they are used to paying.

What is Campus Bookstore?

The Campus Bookstore does just that.  The owner and its employees are committed to giving back to the students.  They offer a place for students to save money on their books they buy and selland wanted students to have a place where they could save money and not have to wait for 30 minutes in a line, said Cody Miller, owner of Campus Bookstore. He decided to move to Las Cruces when he heard that Barnes and Noble would be leasing the building on campus and was then going to become the new bookstore for New Mexico State University.
