| Headed back to college? I know some of you are headed back to college. I came across this while searching the net to help you save some money on text books. Don't Pay Retail for Text Books The average college student is paying between $500 to $900 per semester for books. By doing a little sleuthing, we found savings as great as 87% on books needed for this semester. Before your start your search, get as much information about your text book as possible, including: Complete title, Author, Publisher, Edition Number, Year Published and ISBN number. Here are the places we searched: Buy used from the university bookstore and save 25%. We buy all the books at the bookstore (used whenever possible) - several weeks before classes start - then we start searching on-line using actual ISBN numbers on the books we have in hand. These books will be returned if and when we find better prices. CollegeBooksDirect.com 25% – 40% Ebay.com Half.com Amazon.com College Text Books CheapestTextBooks.com This site searches all of the other sites and helps you find the best deals around.

Donating YT 11K Club Member | Thanks! Books are so expensive, it's ridiculous and usually every yr they come out with a new edition so you can't used the old one or buy it used, it costs way more.

| Very true, and very smart. I always try to find used books before I go out and buy a new one.

| I have one even better. If your college has Easy Borrow (where they can borrow books from other college libraries) borrow them and return at the end of the semester!! I do this and haven't had to buy a book for a few semesters. ETA: Easy Borrow (or whatever your college might call it) normally takes a few days (at my college they say 2-5 days until they receive them. Don't stress!! You can always get by for a few days without a book. If you HAD to, you could always just go to the bookstore and read it there. Also, if Easy Borrow has a different version than what your professor uses, ask if its okay to use a previous edition. Most of the time they only changed 2 sentences in the entire book.
