Where do you guys go to buy cheap textbooks? TIA
Usually the college bulliten boards are full of students who want to off their used text books for quick cash. Try that! eBay??
half.com is great!
I usually check with the nursing students (after a while, you get to know the group since you're with them so much, lol) to see what classes they've had already, then give them a little more than the book buy back people will. Sometimes we just trade back and forth or borrow.
I don't know if you're going to a big university or not, but the students from the big one close to my comuunity college get some of their books at our bookstore b/c they're a little cheaper.
I always went to the used textbook bookstores - our college town had two of them.
I have purchased used text books at the barnes and nobles website. They were in excellent condition (not a mark in them) and really very resonable.
my son used half.com very successfully!
Just be careful when you buy used textbooks and make sure the instructor is still using that particular version.
