-- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 11:12 am on Aug. 18, 2008 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)? -- Posted by MXfreak at 11:12 am on Aug. 18, 2008 my school provides books (highschool) -- Posted by malignant melanoma at 11:12 am on Aug. 18, 2008 Whoa, hopefully you didn't get all new. -- Posted by HatesYou at 11:13 am on Aug. 18, 2008 Aw sweetness. Congrats! I have yet to purchase mine. Uni's such a drag. -- Posted by The Fantasy at 11:13 am on Aug. 18, 2008 my school gives us ours. -- Posted by White Ninja at 11:13 am on Aug. 18, 2008 Mine were $600 last semester, and they were mostly used. -- Posted by TheatreMinelli at 11:13 am on Aug. 18, 2008 I'll have spent about 100 quid on books, all off amazon. I learnt after last year. -- Posted by its only me at 11:13 am on Aug. 18, 2008 thats a lot of money :S its rather scary -- Posted by Innuendo Girl at 11:13 am on Aug. 18, 2008 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 -- Posted by SimplisticComplexity at 11:14 am on Aug. 18, 2008 Quote: from MXfreak at 2:12 pm on Aug. 18, 2008 my school provides books (highschool) Just wait until you're in college. -- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 11:19 am on Aug. 18, 2008 Quote: from Malignant Melanoma at 11:12 am on Aug. 18, 2008 Whoa, hopefully you didn't get all new. 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 :'( -- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 11:20 am on Aug. 18, 2008 Quote: from Innuendo Girl at 11:13 am on Aug. 18, 2008 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 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 -- Posted by malignant melanoma at 11:22 am on Aug. 18, 2008 did you try half.com? -- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 11:55 am on Aug. 18, 2008 Quote: from Malignant Melanoma at 11:22 am on Aug. 18, 2008 did you try half.com? 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. -- Posted by TheatreMinelli at 1:20 pm on Aug. 18, 2008 Go to book butler it compares prices all over the internet.
