<p>i was researching where to buy m books from and two of mine (anthro101 and chem130) are paperback. and I'm confused because usually textbooks are hardcover. so I'm not sure if I'm finding the wrong book or what? lol any help is appreciated :)</p>
<p>Textbooks are not usually hardcover - paperback is cheaper for all parties!</p>
<p>I’ve order 4/5 books from amazon already and all of them have been paperback. I was a bit surprised as well at first glance, because I was so used to hardcovers in high school.</p>
<p>A lot of books in college are paperback. It’s good because they’re cheaper.</p>
<p>High School textbooks are hardcover because they are meant to be used for a longer period of time. In college you just use the textbook once.</p>
<p>Ok! Thanks everyone:)</p>
