Best way to get textbooks? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

I've started my semester and didn't get my textbooks yet b/c I wanted to make sure that they would actually be usefull for some classes (some classes never used the textbook even though it said required). I'm looking for a way to get a certain book w/o spending the 120$ new for it (don't have time to buy online). Is there anyway to get PDF files or ebooks of textbooks?

I made my first online text book purchase from amazon on tuesday and it came today. $83 book for $14 [thumbup]

This is shipping from a private seller. Good stuff.

you could also check if your school has some kind of student book exchange. I picked up my first semester's load of textbooks for about $80, which would have barely bought my cheapest english book for that semester!

Your university library will probably have most textbooks on reserve.

alibris.com has good deals on used textbooks as well.
