looking for cheap textbooks

[rosspj59]

I am taking principles of chemistry online at Minneapolis community and tech college. I am looking for cheap used textbooks for this class. Any ideas other than Barnes & Noble? The cost of the new book for this 159.00 at the bookstore, plus another 100 for a study guide CD called Thinkwell's Chemistry.

Try e-bay.

Can you give me the ISBN # off of the book you need?

0-07-310169-9 and 1-931381-13-5 are the two I need.

cheaptextbooks.com or half.com

You can find used books on Amazon

the best website is abebooks.com i got all my books for last semester for $25 including one that the on-campus bookstore here (owned by Barnes and Noble) had for $120 that i got on abebooks for $6.25

0-07-310169-9 is available on abebooks

The other one I can't find.

Thanks for the help everyone! The second one 1-931381-13-5 I found on amazon for 60. I get reimbursed for 200 a year so the two together for 125 is not too bad compared to 200+ the book store wants.

Bobbo-o, so how do you sell your books after the class is over?

[The Chemist]

I'll give a check around here. We just currently hired a new grad so he may have what you need.

[Bobb-o]

The way i sell my books is to find someone else who is taking the class next semester, most of the time the bookstores will only give you like $5 for the book and then will resell it for like $40.

Well here's the really cheap students trick to finding textbooks I really didn't care to own after the class was done. Check out your local library. You'd be surprise how many of your textbooks will be on a library shelf. You just will have to recheck the book out until the class ends and then return it. I saved myself lots of money by doing this while attending SCSU. They weren't always the current edition but were close enough for free.

Try bigwords.com or ecampus.com. When I ordered from the I got a free T-shirt.
