How To Find The Best Deals On College Books
September 24th, 2011
College textbooks can be costly; therefore, purchasing slightly-used books may be less painful. Many students will resell their textbooks to the college, which in turn sells them back to you at a discounted price. Check to see if your campus bookstore has used textbooks available, applicable to your needs.
Perhaps someone you know has taken the same college course you are going to take; they may be willing to sell you their textbook or know of someone who would. Also, current high school students may take College Prep courses. Find out if anyone in your school has taken the same course(s) you are planning to, and see if they’d sell you their books. The high school office may be able to give you some leads as well.
There are websites that sell used textbooks, but may charge shipping. A word of caution, when purchasing books from sources other than the college campus bookstore, be sure the books are current editions, applicable to your college course(s). Correlate the ISBN numbers, titles, authors, publication dates, course code numbers, etc., from the books at the college to the one’s you are intending to buy, to be sure you are getting the correct curriculum.
