I just checked the cost for all my books at the college book store and OUCH, I just want to cry! My books will cost me almost as much as the class itself...argh. What's crazy is when I sell it back to the school I won't even get half of what I paid for.
So this fall semester I will try something different and rent or buy my books elsewhere other than the college book store. I found a place online - Textbooks.com where you can buy, rent, download, or even SELL.
Textbooks.com says they are committed to offering students the lowest prices on the best selection of quality, hand-inspected used textbooks. Whether students choose to buy or rent, Textbooks.com has highly competitive pricing on thousands of used, new and digital titles. With 30-day returns, speedy FREE shipping (over $25) and spectacular customer support, Textbooks.com guarantees a stress-free shopping experience.
Parents with children going to college and college students - I encourage you to at least visit Textbooks.com (CLICK HERE) and check out what they have to offer, even if you are not taking college credit courses - doesn't hurt to try and save what you can. Also, they have a friend referral program where for every friend you refer you will earn $5.
I just cannot believe how much books cost today! My math book last semester was almost $200...ugh, it still hurts talking about it. Now do you see why I have to save where I can, lol.
We will certainly look into this option and will be sure to use your referral link. Thanks & keep the savings coming! =D
