If you’re in a position where you need to sell text books rather than just donating them, you’re not itemizing your taxes. You’re just going to take the standard deduction.

Broad-brush thats likely true, but there can be exceptions. For example, if one has enough medical expenses that it makes sense to itemize, one might also be trying to get money any way they can, including by selling their old textbooks.
