<p>UCLA begins 9/20th I believe and having just chosen my classes a week ago I'm wanting to see if the textbooks are available for the course yet..or which they're not.</p>

<p>I've used Chegg for years though am wondering if there are better solutions regarding the topic now at UCLA. </p>

<p>Whether its another renting site or something altogether different. I heard something along the lines of being able to rent any textbook for free, for a few hours so long as you returned it after your class? I guess the benefit here is to not have to lug around textbooks all over campus, but rather checking them out leisurely before class. </p>

<p>I guess i'll be checking out in a few weeks again if my textbooks have yet been listed, but in the meantime I thought i'd ask this instead.</p>

<p>Try to find the book online first. (Works well with common majors)</p>

<p>If not, then get an older edition of the book and if there is homework go to the reserves in the library and copy the homework problems.</p>

<p>Or just use no book at all. </p>

<p>If you seriously need it, then rent it.</p>

<p>when I was at CC I checked Amazon/Half.com first, then Chegg, then my school bookstore. Will probably do the same at UCD.</p>

<p>With the free amazon student account, I find amazon is usually the best deal.</p>
