Lexya is a young startup with a mission to find ways to make students save time and money. Our purpose is to remodel the textbook market by creating an online-first solution for students to purchase their textbooks in all forms: second hand, new or Ebook.
The coolest thing: when connected to Lexya, students can easily buy books, but also sell their old ones.

When purchasing on Lexya, our goal is to present to you all the different versions of textbooks you can have. That being said, you can choose between an inventory of second hand, certified used, new or digital books. For the purchase of new, digital or certified books, it’s all the same: add the manual to your cart, and complete the following steps for the payment. Your order will then be posted as soon as possible !
Second handed textbooks are manually transaction between the two students: the seller and the buyer. You’ll get a notification from us by email (and text) with the contact information of the buyer when he will reserve your textbook, but the payment and exchange is on your end. Lexya is not responsible for this type of transaction.
A certified used textbook is basically a second hand book, but in a greater condition. The textbook is also verified by a team member. The crème de la crème of second hand books. The transaction as much as the payment is done online.
Perhaps, because certified books have been used, there’s a possibility that the code for the online access is not available anymore. No reason to stress, if you really need it, you can always buy the online access directly from the publisher..
Digital books are 100% online manuals, usable on your computer or your Ipad. To purchase, just add it to your cart and complete the following steps to your order.
