<p>Any thoughts/suggestions?</p>
<p>A BETTER QUESTION TO ASK is: do you like throwing money into the sea? You’re going spend lots of doe in college. So if it feels right, (which it shouldn’t) to spend more money on the same textbook… then do it.</p>
<p>but here’s my suggestion, If you absolutely cannot find it for a better price , THEN buy it from the bookstore.</p>
<p>oh, and if your worried about it being used or new… i mean come on. seriously? after you use it and the price of the textbook plummets to like .50 then what’s the point of buying it brand new?</p>
<p>Edit -Sorry, not allowed to promote commercial websites on CC. Suffice it to say there are several sites that offer new and used texts cheaper than the bookstore.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice on the website. Totally agree on saving $. He just received an email from one of his profs wanting some reading done from one of his textbooks and we were trying to figure out how to get the book right away. </p>
<p>Well, now is the time to make your order if you are going to buy online. If you wait any longer you risk getting delivery after the start of the semester. Google the various online retailers. Also, if you need STEM books, consider Internation Editions. They are essentially identical to the versions published in the U.S.A., with the benefit of a HUGE price difference (i.e. lower). </p>
<p>So no real differences between an International Edition and standard edition?</p>
<p>I would not buy International for math, as it will be in metric.</p>
<p>I compared bookstore to amazon and saved >$150 and this included shipping and some were new books versus renting used books. Not that I care if he has used books but the point is you can save a lot of money and get books they can keep (or sell again) if you look around. The Tulane website lists the ISBN # so it is easy to look up books.</p>
