The line to return textbooks snaked up the steps of University Book Store and into the lobby. People who wanted to buy books had to fight their way through the crowds.
“I kinda like the fact it’s crazy crowded,” University of Wisconsin-Madison sophomore Adam Markoff, from Northbrook, Ill., said Monday. “I might run into someone I know.”
Students have returned to campus and classes begin today. The mob scene at the bookstore, expected to continue all week, demonstrates the continued allure of buying and selling textbooks in person.
