After 26 years, Wheelock Books closes - Andrew Culver, the Dartmouth

Wheelock Books founder and owner Whit Spaulding ’89 wrote in an email that Wheelock Books is “price-competitive with most everything” including online, e-book and rental purchases. However, students are accessing free digital copies of textbooks online, a phenomenon that is happening in “higher and higher volume,” Spaulding wrote. Due to copyright rules that the business must follow, it is “impossible” for Wheelock Books to compete with free online sources, he added. http://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/01/wheelock-books-is-closing
