You know, my roommate in San Francisco six years ago was one of the first people at BigWords. Anyway, that said, it is a nice idea to allow searching by professor, course title and course numbers, but to make that information required is a mistake. There's a bootstrapping problem for any new school, and you need to make it easy for people to sell. The seller should not need any other information beyond what is printed on the book itself. I've got books from earlier than last semester, and I don't remember the prof names and course numbers without looking them up somewhere. Guys,
