Freedom of Information Act
The act requires college bookstores to publish textbook lists to anyone asking for the information. One exemption is private universities such as BYU-I. BookViking.com does not have access to an official book list and is dependant on word of mouth of fellow students to give us this information. For faster service having ISBN, title, class schedule, author, and edition of textbook is required.

If we have the books you need we will then create a customer information sheet for your new account. At this time you will pay the rental fee per book. Books are due by the last day of the current semester. If books are returned in the same condition there will be no additional charges.
- Almost all books rent for $10 - $70 per book per semester.
