<p>I just checked on Oasis and they have posted the fall 2006 booklist. So, any idea where I can cheap used books? I have nine books on my list and they are all required :(</p>
<p>whoops i just noticed i wrote "poster" instead of "posted"....</p>
<p>Sweet! Thanks for the heads-up. Nine books isn't that much, trust me. And you can get good deals on Half.com and Amazon.com Marketplace. You can also use AddAll.com to search many different online booksellers at once to find the best price. Good luck!</p>
<p>amazon is a good place to start, though it might be hard to find more specialty books there...</p>
<p>9 books? That's not unusual but it does seem like a lot. I usually try and find out what books are really required for each class, especially if multiple books are required for one class.</p>
<p>Not all mine are posted, btw. Only 4(out of 5) are up. One class that's posted, the new textbook is $12.95...bummer I'm planning to drop the class anyway :(</p>
<p>Oh, nice. 21 books. And I'm not even an English major.
For future reference, never take a Classics Cat. I class and Arts & Letters in one semester.</p>
<p>I have 18....great. I should probably check out Amazon.com as well.</p>
<p>Argh! I have all of my books already, but older editions.</p>
<p>And what happened to Prof. Mak?</p>
<p>I guess the August 7 deadline still stands for any professors who haven't finalized their book list yet.</p>
<p>If you mean the person listed as "instructor" in the book list, don't trust that info. It's sometimes the person who coordinates the course (i.e., writes the syllabus and picks the book) rather than the person actually teaching it. The schedule of classes has the most up to date info on who's the professor teaching.</p>
<p>how do we know which edition of the book we should get? do we just get the latest one?</p>
<p>I have 11, and only 4 classes posted, 4 more to go!</p>
<p>scratch that, only 3 classes posted.</p>
<p>9 books, only 7 required and one is a duplicate. So really...6. But 4 of them are over 100 bucks and only 1 is under 50. yay :(</p>
<p>What is the concensus on "Optional" books?
(1) Purchase the "Optional" books along with the "Required" books?
Or
(2) wait till classes begin, and see if the Prof encourages the purchase of the optional books?</p>
<p>where is the best place to buy books if i am planning on doing the buyback thing? also, one of my classes has 16 required books... that seems like a huge amount... has anyone taken a class with Professor Gustafson?</p>
<p>He seems pretty awesome according to senatecourseguide. Gross, 16 books for one class. That'll be good for your dorm space.</p>
<p>Roomie: Where'd the TV go?
You: Sorry man, had to trash it. Needed space for my 16 books.</p>
<p>
what class is that!?</p>
<p>i've got 9 books, 5 required. actually, one's MATLAB Primer, so i think that's a program. hooray engineering...?</p>
<p>it's an American History course</p>
<p>Some of my books come with bundles or packets. if i buy the book new on half.com, will i get these, and can i buy just the bundle or packet?</p>
<p>Bmanbs, it depends on the person who's selling on Half.com. You need to read the descriptions to find one that says it comes with a bundled CD, booklet, etc. A lot of the descriptions are lacking though. You probably may not need the supplements unless your professor expressly requires it.</p>
<p>but if so, can i buy the packet seperatly?</p>
