<p>Looking for any advice to beat the high cost of textbooks. What is the best way to find used text books? Is there a message board or something where students post used books that are for sale? Thanks.</p>
<p>you can purchase used textbooks in several places. I have had the most luck finding the lowest prices on half.com and amazon.com. I purchased all of my sons textbooks (engineering major) on half.com for a lot less than the used book quote from the campus bookstore. Just be careful to be sure you get the correct edition, you can get the book description from the link on VIP that leads you to the campus bookstore. this tells you the title, author and edition. You should be able to search by title or author on half.com or amazon.com.</p>
