Kennedy Book Store has professional book buyers who buy textbooks every business day. Kennedys will pay up to 50% of the retail price for current titles being used in the upcoming semester at UK or BCTC. Buyback prices are based on many factors, including the timeliness of textbook information provided by the professors, enrollment figures, the condition of the book, and Kennedys existing stock.
To see if Kennedy’s is currently buying back a particular textbook, please call (859) 252.0331 and ask to speak with a textbook manager – with the exception of Finals Week.
To receive a cash quote, bring the book(s) into Kennedy’s. Unlike our competitors, we deal with multiple wholesale companies and will attempt to give you the highest price possible.
