The prices are insane too. Can anyone some reliable places to get textbooks online? My friend was telling me ebay but I'm sure there are other options out there.

They never helped. TigressaLynnMae Posted at 3:17 pm on July 28, 2008 Get them, when the bookstores start to sell them. But don't go opening them/writing in them until your classes/profesors confirm the need of them. That way, you can still return them, and get full refund, at the school/campus bookstore. jamescoleman Posted at 11:06 pm on July 26, 2008 i like to try to get my books online and then the cheaper bookstore but i have to wait because my school updated the books.

If I would've bought two of my books USED at school, it would've been $300. Got them for $140-ish total on Amazon! I would only recommend study guides for science courses (that you aren't too familiar with)...and MAYBE math courses.
