<p>Hi all! I logged on to URSA and found the textbooks I need, but the UCLA book store doesn't provide the ISBN# on the site. I'm just wondering how you guys buy textbooks without the ISBN. I mean, isn't it difficult to search for the books without the ISBN?</p>
<p>Hahaha thank you Emmeline for your thorough linking capabilities. </p>
<p>I was so about to type that out. Again.</p>
<p>By the way- they make it difficult for a reason.</p>
<p>Theyyyyy want your money.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies!</p>
<p>if you have firefox it's a bit easier...do this:</p>
<p>1) Go to your book list page
2) Right Click and click on "View Page Info"
3) You should now see a bunch of tabs. Click on Forms.
4) Look in the bottom box, you should see four columns. Look under the column labeled "field name". Look for entries labeled "sku-new-1" or "sku-used-1"
5) Now look at the last column in the same row. You should see a number like: 0805385770U</p>
<p>Ignore the last letter and that's your ISBN number. For this case it would be 0805385770.</p>
<p>Now in the second column look for sku-new-2, that's your second book. the last number changes for the next book in the list...sku-new-3, sku-new-4 etc.</p>
<p>btw the "new" and "used" should be self-explanatory, they should have the same ISBN since they are the same book.</p>
<p>BUMP FOR THE NEW BRUINS!!! :)</p>
<p>lol ollllllllld. </p>
<p>but thanks jinobi. i thought about finding this but decided i was too lazy tonight to try.</p>
<p>and another gentle BUMP for good measure.</p>
<p>BUMP FOR NEW BRUINS!</p>
<p>I haven't been able to get this to work for my Chem 20A book. Looking at the source says "9780495481041" but I can't find anything.</p>
<p>Does it say "custom edition" on UCLAESTORE?</p>
<p>If so, you can buy it in person or find the original textbook and see if it's cheaper than what UCLA charges you.</p>
<p>What difference would a "custom-edition" have over the regular one? A CD and some extra notes?</p>
<p>It says "Oxtoby (New Low Price) / Princ Mod Chem (6th) (pkg W/custom Ssm & Oxford Cou". Is it worth buying it at full price for the extra thing or should I save $60 and buy just the book online?</p>
<p>pituoe: Its skinner. They use the relevant chapters. It might also come with a molecular model kit. You can get those anywhere though. </p>
<p>I'd ask the professor (<a href="http://www.directory.ucla.edu%5B/url%5D">http://www.directory.ucla.edu</a>) in charge or the UCLA Store about the package's contents. As for buying it full price - ask the UCLA Store for the rates. See if you can find a better deal - eBay/Half.com/Amazon/Facebook Marketplace/South Campus Major/Campusi, etc. See if the investment makes sense.</p>
<p>And another bump just because it's that time of the year...</p>
<p>The Chemistry 20A textbook information is in the other thread.</p>
<p>Ok..so I followed all of the instructions and was able to see the ISBN#s except it seems that the used and new books have different numbers. Aren't they the exact same book? Help anyone?</p>
<p>^Most of the new ones, especially for lower div science classes, are a "special package" meaning the textbook is bundled with the solution's manual and/or cd-rom. So yeah, the "package" will have a different ISBN# than the textbook or sol manual alone.</p>
<p>The only feature that's special about the bundled package is the price.</p>
<p>Ok, I understand for the lower division "special package" books, but it seems even my books for english, which as far as I can tell, are just regular novels have the same new/used ISBN discrepacy. Am I looking in the wrong place or something?</p>
