<p>When should you buy them? Where is the best place to buy them? Is there a site that posts the required books and syllabus for each course?</p>
<p>In wolverine access under the class description near the bottom, many have the book used for the class.</p>
<p>best place to buy is from other students or half.com or amazon.com
avoid bookstores like the plague.</p>
<p>^I double that.</p>
<p>^^Ditto. I also look at bigwords.com</p>
<p>I agree – avoid bookstores. They are likely to overcharge you.</p>
<p>I know ISBN’s are listed for most of the books. Just copy the ISBN down and search amazon.com with the ISBN number. It’ll pop up the specific edition of the book you’re looking for (this way you won’t have to worry about getting the wrong edition or something). There are plenty of used sellers on amazon.com.</p>
<p>go to Wolverine Access – View my Schedule – textbook view. That’s your tentative book list. I went on alibris.com to buy them. Got my physics and English books for less than $60 before shipping.</p>
<p>yo yo, what’s gona happen if the book is just a diff edition? the ISBN # is a lil diff, but is the content the same?</p>
<p>don’t get an old edition unless they specifically allow it.</p>
<p>Email the professor and ask them if using an old edition is acceptable. </p>
<p>If it’s an international student edition, then usually the only thing that differs is the cover; all content is the same.</p>
<p>Usually getting an old edition or an international edition is fine. The only real difference tends to be that the problem numbers are slightly changed - usually each edition adds a few problems. So you might need to talk to someone else in the class if your homework involves book problems.</p>
<p>Occasionally a new edition has a big change or addition, so in that case you might need to stick to the current version.</p>
<p>thanks for the responses 
oh and in WA, the prof’s names are listed, but not their emails… how do i email them then?</p>
