Timing is
everything by
Evil_Mage_Ra
The key here is finding out, as fast as possible, what courses
you're taking the next term and finding out what books they'll
require. Sometimes, a fellow student will be selling that book
at a greatly reduced price, but don't count on it. The best
thing to do is to set up accounts on
Amazon.com and
eBay and do a quick search there. Failing that, hit your
campus bookstore as soon as they start selling textbooks for the
new term and grab a used copy. Failing that too, you're pretty
much out of luck. Shell out your hard-earned cash for a $100
behemoth of a text. |

Don't
forget the ISBN by Sidris
There are numerous sites online where you can search for
textbooks. Even if your searches are less than satisfactory,
often the site will return the book's ISBN. Just plug the number
into Google and, if anyone is offering it online, you'll find
it. Such searches have saved me a fortune.
