History
What is the fastest and most convenient way to get a textbook
into the hands of a college student?
To answer that question, a group of people began a series
of meetings on January 20, 1999 and eCampus.com was born.
The more we talked the more we came up with new ideas for
service and convenience.
By February 1 we were writing code - including code for what
we think was the first "traveling book bag" on the
Internet. We incorporated on April 16, 1999 and began to move
into our headquarters in Lexington, Kentucky. eCampus.com
officially went live at approximately 11:20 AM, Friday, July
2, 1999.
As the site grew in scope and capability others joined us.
Development teams emerged. Designs and ideas were discussed,
developed and adopted.
On July 18, 2001, eCampus experienced
a “re-birth” when A Book Company, LLC, purchased the eCampus
name and domain. Our commitment is as strong as ever to provide
our customers with affordable textbooks and stuff - perhaps
while having a little fun along the way.
Today, eCampus.com is a fully operational e-commerce business
designed to provide the highest-quality products and services
to students and campus communities wherever they happen to
be.
Of course, the history of eCampus will never be fully written
because our web-store will never be completely finished. We
constantly improve the way our site works and the services
and merchandise we can provide.
