<p>If we can't find the books in the online bookstore (or they aren't available), and there aren't any online, where's the next best place to look?</p>
<p>If I'm thinking about this right, the ISBN numbers HAVE to match up, otherwise they won't be the same book, correct?</p>
<p>For example, the Calc book that is required for the class is Out of Stock, and the ISBN number can't be found online. Is there any other way I can find it?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance,</p>

<p>Did you try Chegg? I believe the numbers have to match up.</p>
<p>On Thursday we ran over to the bookstore to get my son’s books. His Calc 1 book is by Simmons and ISBN# 9780070576421 If this is the same as yours, it is still showing as available in used or rental. Were you looking on the [University</a> of Minnesota Bookstore](<a href=“http://www.bookstores.umn.edu%5DUniversity”>http://www.bookstores.umn.edu) website or off of the “MyU” site?</p>
<p>There are more employees than customers this time of year at the bookstore. They were extremely helpful to us, so you might want to give them a call. We are still in a state of confusion over the lab book for Physics and they will be calling us back.</p>
<p>Nah. I’m using a different book, and it says that it is sold out in the bookstore. I’ve tried ISBNing the number at various websites, but it says that it doesn’t recognize the number :/.</p>
<p>Cheggs doesn’t seem to work either. I can’t find the Chemistry or Calc book there. I feel like I must be doing something wrong x.x.</p>
<p>Are you going to the link I provided? Click on Textbooks, order textbooks, order textbooks and then the bubble that says “textbooks for my courses”?</p>
<p>If you are googling the ISBN# are you also including the author or publisher’s name. Another thing to think about is that it is possible the books are unique to the U of MN. My son’s Econ book says “Published specifically for the U of Minnesota” </p>
<p>Why don’t you give your course # and which section you are in and maybe someone will look to see if you are making a mistake or if there is no book available. Are you looking at the lab, lecture and discussion sections?</p>
<p>Best of luck</p>
<p>I did click on the link but it shows up as the book is out of stock. And for googling it doesn’t come up in the search. I am looking at all the sections to see if there are books needed in them. Thank you for the suggestions though ^^.</p>
<p>I will call the bookstore on Monday, probably, to see if we can get it figured out. I would really not like to buy a brand new book, if all possible.</p>
