So, I finally bought my school books.  I'm actually really happy, I thought it would turn out to be much more than it actually was.  Only a bit over 400 dollars :).

Then again, I had a small course load, and one course had no books or anything, so that means that price is probably the lowest I'll ever see from now on :(.

How much do you typically spend on college books (or school books if you need them for school)?

Whew, that's cheap.

I think last term I spent about $700 on books.

I always try to get used, but it doesn't work so well

No, not all...  The most expensive one, which was 275 dollars or so I was forced to buy new.  But I got SO lucky, because the rest of my courses were like... only 30 dollars each.

That's going to change next semester :'(

Haha, I know!  I was SO happy.  I checked my first course, and it was 275 dollars right there, no used or anything.  And so I thought I was going to be in trouble... but the other two classes were so cheap! :)

Lol, next year won't be so lucky

Well, the thing is, I couldn't find a list for the books that I needed it, and on the site that my school game it, it would NOT list the ISBN number for the books, nor a really full title.

I got them today, since it wasn't too bad, I was going to hold off and look around.  But I'm waiting for an advisor to get back to me about locating which books I need and stuff.
