<p>What site(s) would you recommend for ordering books online, that is both cheap, and ships the books fast (guaranteed less than 3 weeks)?</p>

<p>Also, is it better to order from different sites, if the lowest prices are on different sites, or is better to order every book from one site?</p>

<p>Here are the books I have to buy if you're want to look:</p>

<p>Chinese Art & Culture, by Vinogrod (I couldn't find the book by the author, but I did find a "Vinograd". It might be a typo on UCLA's part)- $61.75 used</p>

<p>Principles of Modern Chemistry 6th Edition, by Oxtoby (would you recommend getting the student solutions manual, too?)- w/manual: $196.50</p>

<p>Calculus of a Single Variable, by Rogawski- $72.75</p>

<p>There is also a message, below the "add to cart" section of where I find my books on the UCLA Store site that says:</p>

<p>"The textbooks for this section could not be found at this time. Please check back at the bookstore later for more information."</p>

<p>Is there really a book that "cannot be found at the time", or does it always say that?</p>

<p>Thanks~</p>

<a href="http://www.amazon.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.amazon.com&lt;/a>
they are much cheaper than the book store. Just be sure to check the isbn number to see if you have the right book.</p>

<p>If you're interested you can also buy from other students. Some of the prices are much cheaper than the bookstore. You can check out bruinwalk.com and facebook marketplace.</p>

<p>Principles of Modern Chemistry 6th Edition, by Oxtoby (would you recommend getting the student solutions manual, too?)- w/manual: $196.50</p>

<p>A better question would be - who is the professor?</p>

5

<p>Okay, thanks for the sites, you two~ And I forgot about the marketplace, but I shall look through it soon</p>

<p>The professor of my chem20A class is Scerri.</p>

<p>campusi.com really helped, thanks everyone!</p>

<p>Yeah I have a question about the solutions manual too. If I buy off campusi from the international place, it's $90 for the book, but I can't find the solutions manual anywhere except amazon where its $70 or so. Would you recommend getting it off the store or still going with other places (Btw I have the same prof)?</p>

<p>I doubt that I'll buy one. Here you go: <a href="http://www.campusi.com/prod.pl?cat=book&ean=9780495112266&lang=en-us&search_country=us&shipto=us&currency=usd&zip=&nw=y&limit=10&use_ajax=1%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.campusi.com/prod.pl?cat=book&ean=9780495112266&lang=en-us&search_country=us&shipto=us&currency=usd&zip=&nw=y&limit=10&use_ajax=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>since you have scerri, don't bother buying oxtoby. all you need is course reader (if even)</p>

10

<p>Really? Where did you read that, and where can I get the reader? Thanks for the info.</p>

11

<p>Oh, it's "Gelbart/Scerri"</p>

12

<p>i didn't read that, i took his class.</p>

13

<p>Oh, I see x3</p>

14

<p>There's a new book, you'll probably need the Oxtoby for 20B.</p>

15

<p>Oh, okay then, thanks~</p>

16

<p>Scerri emailed everyone that 5th edition is okay for his 20A class. Used 5th editions are way (!) cheaper than the 6th edition w/solutions manual.</p>

<p>Think 5th edition will be okay for 20B too?</p>

<p>And there are some really cheap (5 bucks) solutions manuals on amazon. I assume they are usually complete sm if they dont say otherwise, not abridged like the one thru UCLA that's abridged for UCLA. Anyone know?</p>

17

<p>does the online ucla bookstore give the isbn for the books we need?</p>
