College Books
One of the preeminent clamorous investments we make in our college years is in college books and college books used. When I was in school, both in undergraduate and graduate school, though I was an English Lit major, my books were from 100 to 500 dollars a semester. I went about the beginning week of the semester feeling so sorry for myself…until I saw some of the other major’s college books and prices: psychology, 100; engineering, 200; math, 200. But keep in genius there are alternatives today, thanks to in large part the World wide internet. Beginning, you have to acquire over the elitist attitude that you need all brand new books or cheap college books or discount college books or college books for less. If the book is available on the shelf in the college bookstore used, go for it. Or check the used bookstores in town: for anyone living in the San Francisco Bay Area, that is much more of a possibility, as we have Moe’s Books for college books used in Berkeley, Green Apple Books on Clement Street, and hundreds of independent bookstores. As well, sites like the world-renowned EBay give us entrance to booksellers the world over, and you can usually (if you wear’t have time to bid on a book, as you need it within a week) take the “Buy Now” option. EBay sellers, from my experience thus far, are fast. I have gotten books mailed from the UK to the US in under five days! Next, there are venders of college books and cheap college books at college bookstore or outside of EBay online. Here are a few that my own students have used over the years: NEW COLLEGE BOOKS http://www.textbookx.com/ NEW/USED COLLEGE BOOKS http://www.amazon.com/ http://www.barnesandnoble.com/textbooks/directory.asp?r=1&popup=0 http://www.campusbooks.com/ http://www.ecampus.com/ http://www.bookbyte.com/ http://www.cheapesttextbooks.com/ (this site is an amalgamation, a hunt engine for all the connecting bookstores online) Another strategy you might have seen—unless you just started school and have not seen the campus facilities, yet—is the common bulletin board system: you post a request for a particular title along with your phone number outside of the department, in the cafeteria, and wherever else a bulletin board allows public postings. (Be sure you have gotten acceptance for posting from the associated students or others, who will date stamp your ad, else the flyers can and might be torn down.) There’s one more strategy that some of my students have sampled—sometimes with great success to buy college books, other times with not so great success: two people share in the expense of a new college book, cheap college books, college bookstore. They take turns using the book, especially since they livetogether and/or are in the same calss. But by the same token that peer group workers can have one peer who is flaky or who takes on at the center of the semester or who has a tragedy hit (when he or she has the indispensable materials and cannot get them to the group), so might you encounter a sharer of college books, just when it is your turn to use one and just when the partner is nowhere to be discovered. Of course, some students have taken the consideration of photocopying chapters for college books used or buy college books, but that seems to be overkill (of time and nerves), especially now that we have tools to enhance our book-buying experience…doesn’t it?
