Question

Are there any real ways to get college textbooks for a really low price or even for free?

Answer 1

There's a site called Socialbib that allows students to give books they don't need anymore and receive books they need. I just started using it so I can't really say if it works or not.

And there's always Half.com and eBay.  

Answer 2

I always buy used books and go

on Amazon.com to compare prices.

Sometimes you can find some really

awesome deals on there.  

Answer 3

Consider TextBooks.com as they feature a wide variety of new and used college textbooks for low prices. They site also features a money back guarantee.  

Answer 4

Half.com has some really really good deals on used textbooks, so does Amazon.com

Answer 5

I use half.com just find out the book required about 2 weeks before class and write down the ISPN # on the back of the book, but some colleges have gone on line to order books so I have to be creative.

Look up the books you need-usually by course #- and place them in the basket as if you are buying them, then print a copy so you have all the information about the book and what it looks like. Then cancel your order and go to half.com. amazon.com to get a cheaper price. I just bought $65.00 text for $40.00 it took about 4 day to arrive.
