used textbooks
Previously owned manuals
Used textbooks are secondhand copies of educational books, typically sold at reduced prices after their original owners finish a course.
College bookstores and online marketplaces trade heavily in used textbooks: I saved two hundred dollars buying used textbooks this semester.
They often come with highlighting and margin notes from previous students—sometimes helpful, sometimes distracting.
