Textbooks for Sale????

High school text books are SUPER EXPENSIVE and the school buy back program only gives you pennies on the dollar and then sells them to new students at almost retail price.

So, here is your opportunity to sell what you have from last year.

In your comment, please put the school, grade level of the books, bar code number (SKU), name of the course, level of the course (i.e., Honors, academic, marcellian), price you want (make it reasonable) and contact information.

OR

If your looking for books, enter all of the above information and what you are LOOKING TO PAY. (make is reasonable).

Hope this helps. Check back periodically for new comments throughout the summer as a lot of book lists for next year have not come out yet.

Attempted Child Abduction

Chicago police have issued a community alert after a man in a car attempted to abduct a 17-year-old girl in the Far South Side's Mount Greenwood neighborhood over the weekend.

At approximately 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, the girl was riding her bike in the 3800 block of West 101st Street when a man driving a red car offered her a ride, according to police.

The girl continued peddling until the man cut her off with his car and grabbed her. The girl fought with him until he released her and fled from the area.

The man is described as a white male, about 30 years old, 5-foot-11 and between 180 to 200 pounds, balding, wearing a t-shirt, blue jeans and gym shoes. He was driving a red 4-door, small vehicle.

If anyone has information concerning this incident, they are asked to call Calumet Area detectives, (312)747-8271.
