Is there a way I can order college text books on line?

I want to broaden my education but I cannot afford college I don't have the time or money. Can I just go into a college book store and buy them? Where can I order them on line?Is there a way I can order college text books on line?
I recommend asking the teacher the first day of class if you can use an older edition. So, when you go online to purchase the book, you can look for the older edition and pay WAY less. For example, this semester I took anatomy, and the book was $130 new, $80 used. I was able to use an older edition (only one edition older), and I paid $20. Just make sure you ask, because some teachers are particular. All they really do for a new edition is move some chapters around, change some pictures.



I recommend:

half.com

amazon.com

craigslist.org

AND

message boards at your school
Yeah, there are lot's of places to get your books online. In fact I always say if you want good prices on your textbooks then buy early, and buy online. Since there are so many textbook retailers and rental sites out there I use http://www.bigwords.com because they are a textbook price comparison search engine. They searche all the online textbook retailers (including amazon, half, ebay etc) and rental sites (including chegg, bookrenter etc) to find you the best prices. You can even use them at the end of the semester to search for resellers to sell your books to.Is there a way I can order college text books on line?
I always buy my textbooks online and the best place I've used so far is Chegg.com; you can either rent them or buy them and its always cheaper than the other places! And for every book you rent or buy, they plant a tree!



If you dont want to do that and you what book you're looking for, use this website:

http://www.cheap-textbooks.com/ and it shows you all the places online that are selling it and the prices the are selling it for. Good luck!
You can order college textbooks from any online bookstore. I use Amazon to order a lot of my textbooks, you can get new or used books from Amazon, and it's free shipping on orders over $50. I also like Amazon because you can take a "sneak peak" at a lot of the books, including textbooks, to see if it's what you're looking for. You can also visit the publisher's websites directly (these websites may ask what school you're attending, but you can simply put "not on this list"). Half.com has had great reviews, but I've not personally used it.Is there a way I can order college text books on line?
Yep, what Beth said. Half.com or Ebay.com is what I use. You can get older versions of college textbooks for a very low price.
amazon and google
Half.com is amazing. Their books are very affordable and you can sell them back
