<p>When do professors send out lists of the books required for their classes? Is there any way I can obtain a list of the books' ISBN before school actually starts, other than driving to a bookstore and looking it up there?</p>
<p>Here's the URL to the MSC bookstore:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.campusstores.com/tamu/index.asp%5B/url%5D">http://www.campusstores.com/tamu/index.asp</a></p>
<p>It doesn't have ISBN's for the required books but it does have titles and authors.</p>
<p>Once you have the titles and authors, you can email the instructors with that information and ask them for the ISBN's.</p>
<p>You can also enter the titles and authors on CheapestTextBooks.com and get the ISBN's if you don't get a response from an instructor. If you get the latest U.S. edition of a book, you should be OK.</p>

<p>Thanks, m1817. Even better, I found there is a most simple way to obtain those ISBN's. At first I doubt it would work but tried it out at my mom and sister's urgings. I just called the on campus bookstore and asked them for the ISBN's, and they gave them to me, such very nice people. It's simple as pie. :-)</p>
