I suggest students to spend that money on a half oz of pot, and borrow your friend's textbook and go to kinko's.

Ron Paul 2012! The only honest and constitutional presidential candidate! Research his consistent voting record and decide for yourself.

Well the problem is when you just use one source.

Textbooks n More lets you compare the price of all major textbook suppliers at a glance.

The price of one book can range from 24 dollars to 184 dollars. YES FOR THE SAME BOOK but you don't know that if you are only looking at one provider.

Please do yourself a favor and go to TEXTBOOKSNMORE COM

I had great luck with Chegg. I saved $400 on textbooks as an incoming freshman! The books were in great shape, shipped fast and included the CDs. I advise people to stop buying textbooks from the bookstores and rent them instead! Save an extra 5% with promo code CC101071. Use the same code and get an extra $5.00 when selling your old used textbooks.

How is this new? Many colleges have been renting textbooks for over 80 years.

Didn't know that.
