When should we start purchasing textbooks?

<p>I heard some professors change their choice of textbook right before the class starts. I already bought two of my textbooks through amazon and half.com. Is this too early? When should we start buying books?
Thanks.</p>

<p>I usually try to wait until 3 weeks before class starts to order books online. This gives more than enough time for any changes and also for shipping. Otherwise, I just buy the rest once the info comes out online. Sometimes the school offers good packages (i.e., for chem 3a, they provide the textbook, study guide, and molecular kit for a good price than buying separately elsewhere)</p>

<p>i buy them early as cheap book runs out fast.</p>

<p>i ussually shop at ebay of amazon.</p>

<p>ebay favourite store eBay</a> Store - New and Used College Textbooks: cheap textbook, economics brue, principles of corporate finance</p>

<p>3 weeks before class starts? thats like... next wed already! wow</p>
