- The bookstore might sell you either a "custom"
unbound package that contains both books,
or the two bound books separately.
Either one of these is fine.
The unbound custom package has no resale value.
To decide which is the better deal, you also have
to know the buyback price.
If you like keeping your textbooks then the bound books
are the way to go.
