Wanted: $5,000.00 Worth of Used Books. Loupot Will Buy, Sell or Trade.
THE LOUPOT PLAN is this: Bring us the books that you have been
using during the current semester, and we will trade you the books you
will need in February. It's as simple as that — but it's considerably better
than selling for cash, then buying for cash—and finding yourself short in
the process.
