Michael O’Connell, left, a senior from Ransom studying Recreation Management, and his father Mike O’Connell, shop for textbooks Monday at 710 Bookstore in Carbondale. Mike O’Connell said he buys books at 710 because it is convenient and purchasing books online can be risky because of shipping. “They give you the option to rent if you have expensive books and to sell them back at the end of the semester,” he said. – Jessica Tezak | Daily Egyptian
