If you are a college student or even a student enrolled in public or private school, you know that the cost of textbooks has been shooting through the roof. Most school systems pick up the cost of books, but on occasion you may be required to purchase a book for a report or for personal knowledge. If you do, then you’ll soon see how expensive that proposition can be. Every student would like to save on textbook purchases but other than getting a used copy from the bookstore, you’ll likely pay too much. Fortunately, you do have a choice and I’m going to show you how you can save a mint on textbook purchases if you continue to read.
Shop Online Networks – Thanks to the internet, online shops are springing up making it easier to find textbooks offered at deep discounts. BooksonCampus.com and CampusBookSwap.com are two of several sites online that pair up buyers and sellers. You can estimate taxes and shipping costs right online and save a bunch off of the campus bookstore premium prices.
Shop Online Discount Stores – Google a search for discount textbooks and several websites will appear in your search results. Compare prices and you may soon discover that even with shipping and taxes figured in you could still save 10-40% or more off of campus bookstore prices. Some international editions of the same textbooks are discounted by as much as 90%!
Shop the Boards – Yes, bulletin boards at school are a great place to shop for books. Check around the campus and look for used copies of the textbooks that you need. Chances are you’ll get the book directly by a student for dollars less than the campus bookstore who will gladly resell to you a used book, at a significant mark up of course.
Shop the Known Online Retailers – Amazon and others always sell books at steep discounts and their supply of college textbooks is generally quite good. You may be able to save 25% and get free shipping as long as your order is $25 or more.
Don’t count on textbook prices ever dropping to reasonable amounts as the industry is too lucrative and not competitive enough. However, if you don’t mind plunking down hundreds of dollars through your campus bookstore, then by all means patronize them. Chances are you’ll get a nice case of sticker shock and decide to look elsewhere!
