<p>any current students interested in selling books for the fall term? or any ideas on places to get them cheaper than the pitt book store?</p>
<p>this fall i'll be taking:
chem 0110: general chem 1
phys 0174: physics for scientists and engineers 1
math 0230: calc 2
engr 0011: engineering analysis
hist 0600: american history to 1877</p>
<p>if anyone would like to sell any of these respond and we can work something out.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Amazon or half.com are your best choices. </p>
<p>If your edition is older, buy them used from Amazon. They’re not worth purchasing full price. And avoid ever buying textbooks at the bookstore if you can help it. They’re so overpriced.</p>
<p>We try to get them off Amazon as soon as we know the titles. The cheaper copies always sell first. Unfortunately there are books that only the Pitt Bookstore carries – the lab manuals etc.</p>
<p>there is a used book store near campus; also consider the option of “renting” a textbook which is even cheaper.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think you’re referring to Half-Price books? They actually closed down this past year.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Luckily your gen chem 1 and 2 textbook is the same, as is your physics 1/2 textbook and your calc 2/3 textbook. Engineering analysis is one of those annoying books that comes out with a new version EVERY year which you will fork about $120-$140 for and it is a TOTAL waste of money (but you have to have it…) Luckily that also lasts through ENGR0011/ENGR0012. </p>
<p>But anyway, buy your chem, calc, physics, and history book used. The Engineering one you’ll probably have to buy from the bookstore.</p>
<p>I’m not sure the name I just remember my daughter bought books there in the fall I didn’t know it closed. The rental option worked out well for her on books that were available for rent.</p>
<p>CoreyW, my son has his books from Physics 174, Math 0230 and Engr 0011 that he would be willing to sell. Let me know what the ISBN #s are that you need and I’ll check that they are the same and we can work something out</p>
