all textbooks? | 4:32 p.m. March 13, 2008
Does the exemption apply to used textbooks, or just new ones?

BYU Students haven't paid sales tax on textbooks for over 25 years. Finally the state schools are doing what BYU has been not doing for years, that is charging students sales tax on textbooks. If you don't believe me, check your receipt on your most recent textbook purchase at the BYU Bookstore.

Sincerely,
BYU Bookstore employee
