any kind ...used, new...... needd them soon..

or is anyone willing to sell theirs?

The school book stores are usually pretty expensive, I would try to get your books through DealOz, Amazon, Alibris, Abebooks or some other site because it will save you money in the long run because it compares pices form hundreds of sources to ge tyou the best price. Just make sure you have your ISBN: number. DealOz is my favorite

I was wondering if i can get the used books....but does anyone know the name of the college books ?

It  be easier if i have the names of those books.....

 

 

 

What you have to do is go to the school bookstore with your schedule and see what books are required for your class. It is a bit impossible to get the names of the books on a forum because while some of us might have used say Concepts of Biology by Joe Smith for Bio 101, others might have used a totally different book. Your best bet is to first check out the bookstore who will have used books.  

 

If your college has a book store and they have a website, go to it. If you have your class schedule in front of you, then you can enter the class, for example Biology 10, then you would enter Biology 10 and the class section # and it will tell you what books you need. It will also tell you how much each book is. After that if your book store charges more. There are cheaper sites out there.

hey does anybody know where one can find the college books?

I google the ISBN number and find my books online this way. Many of the times they are 60% cheaper than the book store. I have also found that even the previous edition is sufficent, depending on what was added. I know that Amazon.com will show you what is new in this edition. If there are pages that I need, usually I can find someone in the class that will let me copy the pages from their book. And it is not illegal as long as you don't copy more than 10% of the book.

You are welcome! Good Luck!

Thanks guys........it helped a lot!!

Try barnesandnoble.com. That is where I got my psychology book. I went to my college bookstore and got the name and all of it, then went onto barnes and noble and found it for more than half off. at the end of the semester you can even sell you book back.

Why are college books are so expensive? We use it only one semester and throw them away, or we sell it with the cheapest price. In comparasion, the school bookstores are alsways cost higher than other sources. Are the schools trying to make money as much as they can?

IDK. You would think they would be cheaper because it is college and you have enough to worry about. The bookstores on campus should give you a deal for your books but it seems as if you can always find them cheaper in a local bookstore.
