<p>Hi, does any1 have any tips about where to get our textbooks? I need a math 21b book: should I rent it from a site like chegg.com or am I better off just buying one from amazon or the bookstore? thanks</p>
<p>to me I’d always buy because you own it. You don’t have to worry about losing it or it getting damaged. You can write in it too if you want. You can also sell it back at the end of the year if you don’t want it.</p>
<p>That to me makes up for the 40 bucks or whatever you’d save renting it.</p>
<p>Haha, I always buy. Lately, I seem to have this luck of either breaking even or making a few bucks in the end when I go to sell them. :)</p>
<p>Favorite so far: I bought a linear algebra book, it came with a packet for online class stuff that I sold on ebay for half the cost of the book. The other half will be more than made up if/when I sell it because the resale is a fair bit more than that.

<p>Woot!</p>
<p>I’ve bought several international textbooks through ebay, including the Math 21 book.
They are way cheaper and have worked fine. So far the only diferences were that
they were paperback instead of hardcover and the picture on the cover is different.
I’ve bought books from ebay, amazon, barnes and noble. I sold one back through amazon’s buy back and got my full price back (a $20 book for Medieval Studies).</p>
