Where or how do you get your college books?

There are many many places to buy your college books. Most schools have their own bookstore that will sell all the books for every class. This is usually the more expensive option but the most convenient. You can usually find your books through on-line sellers such as amazon, barnes %26amp; noble, half.com, etc. These are usually cheaper but requires you to know exactly what book you need well before classes start. Many professors place copies on reserve at the library for you to read but not take out. This is your cheapest option but least convenient and not all professors will do this. Also, many students will sell their books to other students after the semester is over. Some schools have facebook groups or other on-line marketplaces to help facilitate this. Textbook rentals are also an option but I have no personal experience with this.Where or how do you get your college books?
I get my textbooks at the college bookstore or Amazon.



If buying from Amazon:

- make sure you know what you need

- buy the books at least 2 weeks in advance, unless you don't mind paying for shipping



Lately, I wait until the first day of class so I'll know what I need, and then when I have time, buy my books and supplies at the bookstore.
Some courses actually do require the new edition. I mean, think about how much a science textbook can be updated in a year (and science is not like English or History that stay basically the same).

And then some people may have scholarships where they are required to get their book from the bookstore to use their scholarship.Where or how do you get your college books?
i always use www.textbooks.com because they usually give you an amount that you're guaranteed to receive if you sell it back, and the books on there are loads cheaper than the book store and cheaper than most other textbook sites.
College bookstores usually have at least a few used copies, you know. They're fully aware students aren't going to pay full price for new books if they don't absolutely have to.Where or how do you get your college books?
You can find all the book information at the college book store. Then you can either buy it there (support the store) or buy it online from half.com, amazon.com, alibris.com
At college or and eBay or those type of web sites good luck
I usually get an older edition of the book on www.half.com unless it's crucial for my post-graduate studies...then I get the real thing in the campus bookstore.
or a bookshop. Or ask the Book Fairy

Well stop asking dumb questions then
At your college's library?
