<p>Do yall recommend any place to purchase textbooks, are there any good bookstores in college station?</p>
<p>I recommend you get em online. And renting is almost always better than buying</p>

<p>-just a few ones I frequent the most. One book I rented cost me about $20, and the purchase cost of the book was just over $200, so thats a 90% savings I got off of just one book!</p>

Amazon.com: (used books seller section)

<p>Don’t forget ebook, S2 say it is a lot cheaper then paper book. Usually most student don’t keep freshman and even some Sorph books. So, always buy used if possible. Bookstore outside the U usually is cheaper.</p>
<p>Yes, pr, be sure to find the correct ISBN# from the book listed for your courses on the Campus Bookstore’s website, then check them out on Amazon. Most of the time, I’ve found that we can order a new copy (IF there is any reason you’d want one, like for courses in your major, maybe?) for less than the cost of a Used book at the campus bookstore. A few are their own looseleaf copies and you won’t find that ISBN # on another bookseller’s website. They can really gouge you there–one loose-leaf copy my son needs for fall is $100 at the campus bookstore and doesn’t even come with the binder. I can order almost the same thing at Amazon, but run the risk of it being a different edition and I don’t want to cause any confusion, so we just plan to buy those at the campus store and pay more money.</p>
<p>I think btn may be right about renting; we’re going to look into that next semester.</p>
<p>Just used Chegg for the first time for my son’s summer minimester. Very fast shipping and the price included return postage. I recommend them.</p>
<p>Just don’t buy from the University Book Store on campus. Huge waste of money.</p>
<p>Hey you should go and get the isbn numbers off of Howdy and then BUY the books from Amazon. I know you can rent for cheaper on chegg, but, usually, its only cheaper by a few dollars and because you dont own the book you cant sell it. When you buy from Amazon you usually get it cheaper because you can sell the book to someone taking the class next semester which makes it being cheaper in the long run than chegg</p>
<p>Two of my daughter’s textbooks are bundled with an “Access” card, which I’m not sure I completely understand but I gather it’s some kind of access to updated info or current events or other online info. </p>
<p>I have assumed this means we can’t rent or buy used, but I wasn’t completely sure - I don’t know if you can buy the card separately from the book (i.e., a used textbook but a new card)…anyone know?</p>
<p>Check with the bookstore to see if web access cards can be bought separately for the class DS needed a Web assign card (or something like that) for Physics and he could buy it separately.</p>
<p>As RMGsmom said. Access cards signal that the class has an online component such as “MyMathLab” where students do homework or extra credit, so on. You should check with the bookstore’s website to see if the card is recommended or required. I generally wait til the course syllabus comes out or shoot the professor an email to see whether we need it or not. Usually, you can buy the cards separate from the books; I bought any access cards I used for my courses from the publisher’s website, and bought or rented the textbook separately.</p>
<p>RMGsmom and btn1229 - that’s very helpful, thank you both!</p>
