Biochemistry textbook cost

<p>Just found out my daughter's biochem (Fall 2012 Chem 361,Sect.1) will cost $299.00 from the bookstore. You can't rent it, you can't buy it used, you can't find it online because it has been assigned a different ISBN number by the publisher just for JMU. It's a special edition just for this class. What?? Such a scam!</p>

<p>Looks as if the University Outpost has it for less, and available to rent or buy used…</p>

<p>Thanks for writing. I also emailed the professor who wrote back with helpful advice, and I will research other sites as well. I wasn’t familiar with University Outpost, so thanks for that recommendation.</p>
