stutters January 12, 2006 Share stutters GC Alumni January 12, 2006 it might be too late for the most of you, but if you still have books to buy, check out http://www.bigwords.com i meant to post this earlier, but forgot until i had to do my shopping. best deal of the semester, a calc book was $120 new at the bookstore, $75 used at the off campus used bookstore, and $12.83 through bigwords. and no, i get nothing for the referral.

stutters January 12, 2006 Author Share stutters GC Alumni January 12, 2006 also there is amazon.com I know a lot of people at school that have saved over $200 dollars on their books by using amazon <{POST_SNAPBACK}> bigwords will query all major resellers, including amazon, ebay, textbooksx, etc. i run into my campus bookstore, jot down the isbn's from the required books, jot down their new/used prices, and plug it into bigwords. sometimes with tax + shipping, its worth it to buy it locally. i'd say 90% of my books were purchased online, though. and bookmark that site for the end of semester. i just sold back all of my books through bigwords (except math + chem--i hang onto those by choice) for about an 80% recoup of expenses.

Barns & Noble has free shipping on orders over 25 dollars but they had none in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00b3rN00b January 13, 2006 Share 00b3rN00b Member January 13, 2006 Yeah I get to rent most of my texts, and usually end up spending less than $100 per semester on books, when I know the students in Madison (hah, no text rental there!) are spending about five times that for the same major (Biology). I also attend a state campus in Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
