College Text Books Cheap
You can't always get college text books cheap. Oh sure, there are those internet sites that promise you to send you all of your college books for one fraction of the cost that you would pay in an ordinary store. Don't believe that nonsense for a moment. You're in college, for Gods sake, it's beneath you. The fact is, unless you just so happen to sign up for all classes which are taught from the most popular college books, there's no way that you'll even get most of your college text books cheap.
Last semester, for example, I had 5 classes. One of them was a medieval literature class, and most of my college text books were really just old paperback additions of books from hundreds of years ago. Some of these college text books came quite inexpensively, as I could find used editions from previous years, but others of them weren't so cheap, and there was so much reading that the prices quickly added up. Besides this was a rarely printed scholarly source book on medieval studies written by none other than the professor herself. If you think that this text book came cheaply, you have another thing coming. Forty-five dollars – and that's for a used copy.
I couldn't get many of my other college text books cheap either. My computer science book cost about sixty dollars, which is not surprising. The only good thing about that is that, since this is the first year that we are using this particular book, it is likely that they will be using it next year as well, and therefore, I will probably be able to sell it back at a good proportion of the price. Nonetheless, it seems like a lot to pay for a book that I will use once and then be done with forever. I mean, its good to be able to make back a lot of the money that you have to spend, but it would be even nicer to get my college text books cheap in the first place.
Of course, you can get some college text books cheap. My mathematics book cost me nothing at all, in fact, because my old roommate had taken that course the year before me. The only thing better than getting college text books cheap, is getting them for nothing at all. I simply had to trade with him. I gave him my old “History until 1650” text book for his “First Year College Calculus” book. It was a good trade for everyone.
