<p>If any one is interested i think it would be cool if we posted the ISBN numbers for our books for Fall quarter 09. </p>

<p>So others can buy them off amazon and such.. </p>

<p>If you are taking math 3A the book for fall 09 is Linear Algebra 7th edition with applications. By Steven J. Leon. </p>

<p>and the ISBN number is : 0131857851</p>

<p>What I am looking for is the ISBN number for physics 7A, and ICS 21. I know the book titles but I am not sure on the ISBN numbers. </p>

<p>if you can help that would be great.</p>

2

<p>hey art, is ur physics 7a book physics for scientists and engineers 7th edition i believe?</p>

3

<p>^ yes thats exactly it</p>

4

<p>I used that physics book for 3 semesters of physics at a CC i heard irvine uses the same one as the CC i went too.</p>

5

<p>The ISBN is 978-0-495-11245-7 or 0-495-11245-3</p>

6

<p>cool thank you very much.</p>

<p>I discovered that if I copy and paste the description of the book given on the bookstore site to a blank email page, the ISBN # APPEARS! I don’t know why this works, but it works every time. Then I can search online for that ISBN # and buy the books much cheaper. I just saved a bundle with used book sellers on Amazon.</p>

<p>@catlyn what do you mean a blank email page?</p>

9

<p>As if you were going to compose an email, copy and paste the book descriptions there. Two boxes will pop up, one being the ISBN #. Try it!</p>

10

<p>what email service are you using? </p>

<p>its not working for Yahoo.</p>

11

<p>oh I think thats just the web search for the book… well I am not sure i am using yahoo…</p>

12

<p>I just tried it with yahoo mail and it works. Go into “Compose” mail and copy and paste there. It works with AOL too.</p>

13

<p>Which book descriptions are you referring to?</p>

14

<p>and where exactly did you paste to?</p>

15

<p>I’ll start over again. Go to the UCI bookstore site and find you course. Add the course to the right hand column (Your Schedule). Then click on “Find books for these courses.” You will then get a description of the books required for your class, including the new and used book prices, but NO ISBN #. It will look something like this:</p>

<p>JAVA CONCEPTS (NO WILEY PLUS)
HORSTMANN
REQUIRED Add?
New $127.70
Store Location:
Used. $95.80
(Save $31.90 off the New Price)</p>

<p>Substitution Options:
OK to Substitute No Substitutions </p>

<p>This it the information you copy and paste onto a blank email page, as if you were composing a new email to someone. Once you do that, two boxes will appear, one of which will be the ISBN#. You then can take that number and google it and hopefully find that same book cheaper through another book seller.</p>

<p>It works! Thanks Caitlyn. Apparently, this method only works on internet explorer. I tried it on firefox but I never got the isbn to show up when pasting the description onto emails. </p>

<p>This works on yahoo and gmail, im guessing any email service, as long as its on internet explorer (for me at least).</p>

<p>another way to find out the isbn:</p>

<p>go to [Welcome</a> to the UCI Bookstore](<a href=“http://www.book.uci.edu/]Welcome”>http://www.book.uci.edu/), add the courses you have (if they are listed) and add the books to your cart. then click “apparel” (for example) at the top of the page, and just click a random link (example: tees & tops). now on the right side of the page, you should see the items in your cart. you can now click on the link for the book that is in your cart.</p>

<p>example of link:
[UCI</a> Bookstore - EVERYDAY CULTURE - TREND](<a href=“http://shop.book.uci.edu/ePOS?store=446&item_number=9781594514272&form=shared3%2Fgm%2Fdetail.html&design=446]UCI”>http://shop.book.uci.edu/ePOS?store=446&item_number=9781594514272&form=shared3%2Fgm%2Fdetail.html&design=446)</p>

<p>the part “item_number=…” is your isbn. you can now use that to search amazon.com, etc.</p>
