I bought a book for school, can I make a copy of the book for my own use to write on so I don't write in the book and can get my money back when I return the book to the campus store.
State/Country relating to question: Illinois Already Tried: This is my first attempt looking into it. The book store won't buy back the book if I mark in it and I always take notes and highlight. I would just keep the book but I like recycling so I sell it back. I wanted to make a copy of the book I bought for my class so I can take notes and highlight on the copy then sell the book back to the book store.
You have the right to make a copy of the book you purchased as long as you are using the copy for your personal use. The copyright laws merely prevent you from making copies to sell or distribute.

My friend was waiting for his book to arrive from the book store because they ran out of the book before the class started and I made him a copy of my copy of the first four chapters for the first class until his book came. He asked can you do that and I didn't know so I thought I would ask. I thank you for your help
That is fine since the fair use doctrine allows for copies for educational purpose as long as you are not charging him for the material (other than the copy costs). Please do not forget to click accept to release your deposit.PaulMJD40055.6002481481
