How Do You Save Money Buying Cheap Textbooks?
Textbook costs in school can add up real quick. Tuition itself can cost over $40,000 a year and that is not including living costs. With books costing anywhere from $30 to $150, debt can pile up and cause further stress for students. Here are ways to go around that. Look for older editions. Often, the newest edition of a textbook is just as good as the previous one or two editions. Do not be scared of the pages being different or the material not being the most up to date. If you combine the textbook with your lectures, you should be able to spot a difference if there is any. Use book-selling websites to buy older editions of textbooks. Websites such as Half.com are great for such purposes. You can save up to 85% from retail value using these websites. Use the internet as a resource. For example, most medical schools have great information databases for their students at no cost. Website databases such as www.uptodate.com are great for textbook supplements.
