So... I know it's still summer but I'm about to post a few textbook listings which made me think of a few tips. Don't go right to the bookstore unless you're using financial aid for books too.
Check Ebay and / or ecampus
You check these sites by typing in the title or isbn.
If you don't know what books you need your schools online bookstore can tell you
Or you can look at your syllabus
Check with people who have taken the class before
Find the format you want... With the way things are today technology is right there.
EBook
Regular Books
Books on cd / tape (great for visually impaired and those who hate reading)
If you do hit the bookstore choose used and save some money.
Take care of your books because the college bookstore will buy them back
I suggest selling them on ebay you get more money but end up saving someone else money
For example
You can pay 120 for a book from the bookstore. They may buy it back for 35... If you sale it on ebay you could get 85 and save someone else from paying the 120 you paid, get it?
So that's it as far as books go
PS: Try to have all books the week before classes begin.
