Getting college textbooks?

Question

Has anybody used Chegg before? Is it good? If not, where do you get your textbooks for class???

Answer 1

Use BigWords.com. It is a search engine that will find books from a large selection of different sellers (including Ebay and Amazon). It will give you all of the information on the book (what condition they're in, what edition, etc...) and sort them by price. It's the easiest way you can buy cheap books.

Answer 2

I'm with tru ballin on this!! Bigwords.com all the way!!! Been using it for a bit now and love it!!

Answer 3

Get the ISBN number from the book and order it on half.com or amazon.com.  It will save you a lot of money.  Only drawback is they don't accept financial aid like the school book store will.

Answer 4

I've used Amazon and Half.com...Half is usually more expensive though.  They have nuts posting books for $200 that sale brand new at most schools for $135.

Answer 5

I rented my books last semester from www.bigwords.com. It basically compares all the other sites with all of your books at once and includes shipping, which in my opinion you can't go wrong with. The renting option kills because you don't have to worry about selling your books back.

Answer 6

Amazon, Ebay, Facebook marketplace, friends, my college bookstore.
