PresidentClinton07 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 College started on Monday and textbooks are obviously required for each class. I was wondering if anybody knows any sites where they sell cheap textbooks, whether it be new or used. The bookstore prices at school are high and all the used books are sold out. Ofcourse I could google for websites but I wanted to see if anybody would recommend any sites they have used before. Im sure other members could benefit from this thead too. Thanks in advance!

PeterMP Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 http://www.halfpricebooks.com/ A lot of my students also use Amazon. My impression is that even used they are somewhat more dependable, but there is no way you are going to get them for Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Washington Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 check the library...i've checked out older editions of a book for the entire semester. sometimes your school may have the textbook on reserve...can check out for 2-10 hours at a time.

Ghost of Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 half.com can get you textbooks at a greatly reduced rate, depending on what edition is ABSOLUTELY required (or the oldest allowed for class.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckus Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Half.com is what I used all 4 years. It worked well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 i usually find all I need between half/ebay and amazon marketplace. E-follett.com is a source also. www.cheapesttextbooks.com Go there and search for your books and it will tell you the cheapest price and on which site. Also, check if there are off-campus book stores, they usually can be cheaper and may have more used books. Another idea is to see if there is some form of online book sales/exchange for your school.
