Textbooks...

[SupermanIce-J]

Is it just me or do some text books need to die in a fiery gunfight or be burned???

This is my friends textbook he paid $120 for.

Edit: This particular book might be a good "clay" for skeet shootin'.

textbooks are fucking ridiculous. buy it for $150, open it once, then be LUCKY to get more than $50 bucks for it. fucking scam.

Half dot com.

My first semester I spent like 700 on book, sold em for like 90, at the end. Second semester my bro told me about half.com, bought all my books for 120.

amazon.com is great too...i sell almost all of mine back every semester and make a decent amount of money...and i buy all of my textbooks off of there too, you get them for MUCH cheaper than campus bookstores charge

I dont buy text books until Im absolutely positvely sure i need it for the class. If I can get by without it or go halfsies with a friend on it, i will

Good thing my Textbooks cost me like $5 and they were just a bunch of blue prints stapled together.

Oh statistics. I hate even more when you are take a course and the teacher assigns multiple little books that you can't find online and are forced to purchase from the coop

I think i had a book similar too that! haha Looks like my stats book, but then again they're all the same.

I just heard about chegg.com, you borrow from them and you return it after the semester (or they give you a date when its due). I got one of my books from my prof and amazon showed it at 112$ regularly and i could get it for $86. I went to chegg and it showed its $112 regularly, but for a semester of borrowing i could get it for $41.

This. my brother in law graduated from VTech/grad school without buying one book. I'll only buy them if I absolutely need them. If I do, I'll make friends with someone

[Arundlemcbrundle]

[Zullock Holmes]

love buying books for $150 then getting $20 for it back if its in good condition... my gf and I both go to the same college so we take the same class's if we can each semester and share books, or like this semester, im taking a class she will need and she's taking a class i will need so next semester we can just switch books as long as they are the same.

I started holding on to my ME textbooks at the suggestion of my advisor/mentor at UConn and it definitely can pay off if you work in a technical field. I have been at my new job 3 weeks and have already needed to reference texts on thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, control systems, and mechanics of materials.

So, if you are a science major and you actually plan to do work that is related to your studies, then I would suggest holding on to some of your most relevant books. You can't expect to remember everything you learned.
