Both have been working on Around Campus Bookstore. Bennie, since he attended Mercer, for 5 years and Fentriss, since he joined the company, for 6 months. By the way they debate on why the site is ready to go and why it is not ready to go, one may wonder how they made it this far. It is because they share one common goal: they want to revolutionize the used college textbook industry starting yesterday, especially amongst these tough economic times. Right now, , nothing else matters.

Even though Fentriss graduated in 1999 and Bennie graduated in 2007, the same bad taste comes up in each of their mouths when they think back on how their respective college campus bookstores were plundering and pillaging their, and their parents, pocketbooks when it came to purchasing books for classes. The taste turns even more bitter when they think of the end of the semester buyback process when the local campus bookstore acts like it can't give you a fair buyback for your book.

"I have just a little bit more sympathy for the broken used college textbook system than does Bennie," laughs Fentriss. "The internet was brand new when I stepped onto West Georgia's campus. There was a mad scramble at the end of each semester to get with a fellow student with whom you could buy your book from for cheaper than the bookstore or sell your book to for more than the bookstore was going to give you. The only competition my campus bookstore had was an off campus bookstore with great prices but a fraction of
the selection. They were on the right track but the business model was not sufficient enough to really make a difference in the market."

Meanwhile, Bennie shows the system no mercy. "Well, by the time I entered school the internet had grown up. So my friends and I sat around at the beginning and end of each semester complaining about the ridiculous prices of our textbooks. After my first year I made it my business to devise a way on how can we take the power away from the campus bookstore and give it back to it's rightful owner: the students! I'll be honest, I wanted to put my campus bookstore out of business. They were getting away with highway robbery and they knew it. With the advancement of the internet, that is now possible and I plan to take full advantage of the opportunity."

Around Campus Bookstore is the newest player in the used college textbook market when it comes to buying textbooks online. It resembles similar used college textbook websites in it's genre in that it allows you to request, find, sell, and buy used college textbooks online. However, that is where the similarities end. The grass roots approach is really what is setting Around Campus Bookstore apart from fellow used college textbook sites and services. It was built with each unique campus's community in mind. Around Campus Bookstore promotes the students, first, finding the best deal on their own campus. The websites software has been built to track hand to hand transactions in the real world, including ordering a book from anywhere in the nation.

Around Campus Bookstore offers a straightforward sign up process. It hosts color flow charts and video tutorials on the website that walk each new student through the process on how to sign up as a member, how to request books, how to buy books, and how to sell books through Around Campus Bookstore. "We are providing the platform where college students from every size university, college or technical school can have full control of the used college textbook process. They will always get the best price in the country,

whether it be on their campus or from someone else's."
