Buy college textbooks cheaper

Books and materials are chosen by the professor so book costs are largely dictated by the mandates of the professors who order the books. In other words the professor chooses which books to assign and order for the campus bookstore.

Ask just how much of the text you will need to read, before buying the book. If its just a few chapters, you can borrow the book from the library, rather than buy it.

Ask about the previous edition. In some cases, students can use an earlier edition of the book--bought cheaply used-- because its not substantially different fromt he current edition. Students should ask their professor, first to make sure that the book revisions were not substantial.
