why on earth do school books have to cost so friggin much :mad

i know it sucks!! i try and buy used books

[dream]

i was wondering the same thing mine cost as much used as it did for me to get the classes, i found a few though at half.com much cheaper maybe they'll have some of yours too

Because publishers like to give it in the ass to all students, they know we have no choice but to buy the books, so like everything else, the rich get richer the poor get poorer.

Anyway, there are lots of online sites to get really cheap books , sometimes used sometimes new, and you can always put them back up for sale when you are done with them. My favorite sites are amazon.com, half.com, ecampus.com, directtextbook.com. And you can just google, cheap textbooks and get a ton of other sites to do price comparisons

that is the one thing i like about online schools. your textbooks and shipping are included in your tuition.

Nope, none of the online schools dh and I have attended included books or supplies

Not that i'm trying top brag, b/c i am really not, but i work at the bookstore where i go to school and get 20% off all my text books. Even then its still really expensive.(I'd help ya'll out and order ya'lls books for you so you could use my discount, but theres jsut to many of us and i think my boss may start to wonder.)

Mine does also!! Thankfully! I am definitely planning on putting these books up on half.com though and trying to get some money back from them.
