Buying books

<p>campusi.com</p>

<p>ALL you have to do is type in your class in google.
ex) For Chem 14A
type in UCLA Chem 14A</p>

<p>most of the time there is a Class Website, where you can see a syllabus already up. There you can see what book you need. If the website is from last years class, just see if there is a newer version book, if not, most of the time it'll be the same book.</p>

<p>go to half.com or amazon.com. Half .com is the cheapest
Most of the books everyone needs will be $70-$80 (even new!) instead of $150.</p>

<p>in regards to Math 31B----so if i get the 2002 Red Edition by Stewart im set?</p>

<p>yeah new books only cost $70-90. make sure u get the right version and stuff.</p>

<p>for 31B, yea i think its the Red one, not the Green one. make sure its the 5th edition tho.</p>

<p>for math 31b does it matter if its the international version?</p>

<p>i think they are the same. but i specifically got the US version.</p>

<p>I believe international is the same text, but I heard it's sometimes printed on cheaper paper and no color so it would be harder to resell to the bookstore.</p>

<p>oh no color... hmm that explains it. yea i saw couple ppl selling international under the same ISBN number... watch out.</p>

<p>You can actually find the ISBN on the ucla textbook page by viewing the source code. This will allow for buying online and making sure you get the right thing.</p>

<p>A good explanation of how to do this: <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/community/ucla/913546.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.livejournal.com/community/ucla/913546.html&lt;/a> (scroll down to the comment by ambiguousness)</p>

<p>OMG! i love you! :D</p>

<p>Wow nice. thanks so much. btw the ISBN number is towards the bottom half of the source page for anyone using Firefox. I tried it with Internet Explorer but i couldn't find it due to the "messy" layout of the codes.</p>

<p>Dang, that's a clever trick.</p>

<p>i can only seem to find one of the 3 books that i need</p>

<p>are the model kit listed with the chem14A necessary? I called ucla store and they told me i can't buy the kits separately. Do we actually use the kits?</p>

<p>Oh man, thanx <em>allie</em>. That HTML trick is a cash saver.</p>

<p>would profs/TA's get mad if i have the teachers solution manual for stewart's calculus? or maybe i should keep it in my room and not let anyone see it? :confused:</p>

<p>VTECaddict, how did you manage to get the teacher's solution manuel anyways?</p>

<p>lol i dont think the profs would care. it wouldnt really help u for the finals.. actually i think its better to get the teachers manual cuz i assume it tells u step by step how to do each question and at the very least tell u the answers to even and ODD numbered problems. in a way its like a text plus solution manual :)</p>

<p>Hey all! I'm feeling a bit too lazy to figure out ISBNs, ect...honestly, is $170.50 REALLY REALLY expensive for 8 books, all used?</p>

<p>ahh dang it. someone snagged the ebay auction before i did. no more teachers solution manual for me. :(</p>
