asxtb said:Well, if you are like how I was in college, you won't actually read the books so save the money and use it to buy some beer!!!
Unfortunately...I'm already paying nearly $20,000 USD this year for tuition and living costs. So I'm buying books.
And if I don't hit the books...I'll be paying more next year. Stupid 3.0 Scholarship Demands.
I'll second katie's half.com. I love it.
(Though, my University has text rental, so I don't have to buy the majority of my books. I pity da fool.)

pricemonk.com
It will find the deals for you, and if you go to UMR (I think there's one other UMR student besides me here, so that probably doesn't apply to you), UMKC, Mizzou, Truman or one of the STL community colleges, it will even tell you what books you need

ah facebook, good ole facebook, so addicting
Amazon.com has been good to me. Usually I get a good $20 to $50 off my books and then sell them the second I get my grades.
The problem is that either way my books are about $200 a pop so I'm still paying $100 - $150 per book x 3 books...it sucks.
