    Question for the guys and gals in college

    Where do you get your physical text books? UoP has a book store but it's not the cheapest, Amazon has the text book that I need for my next class brand new for only 68 bucks which isn't too bad. I'd get a used one with some high lighting if I didn't need the software that came with it.

    That's the book I need if anyone could think of a place cheaper.

    Check out www.chegg.com. You can rent and buy textbooks for pretty reasonably prices

      Found some good deals on ebay, I believe they have a special section for textbooks. Bought a $70 book for $25 shipped new in plastic.

        Buy the international version of the text off Amazon. It's usually paperback, a plus, and it costs around 20-30% of what the bookstore will charge at your school.

        Chegg is also alright, but sometimes their selections are limited depending on your major.

            Nice, cheggs has my book for ten bucks less. I'll have to call them later if that's possible to see if it comes with the cd I need.

            *ok got it ordered.. came out to be about 75 cents cheaper than Amazon but they are planting a tree in place of the one taken down to make this book.

              LOL, Craigslist in the Books section usually has the best deals, but not all of the books can be found all of the time. Word to the wise, double and triple check the ISBN's, you dont wanna show up to the first day with the wrong edition.

                  I bought them at my schools bookstore which i spent about $289 and some change on 3 books so amazon might save you a couple bucks. Also like someone already posted make sure you get the right edition. Try getting the books asap or else you will get left behind and it will be hard to catch up.

                    I got the right one, because there are only seven editions but only the seventh came with a software disk.

                          I usually go though Amazon. If you can, use your schools .edu email for Amazon because you get free two day shipping.
