If you want the best deal in textbooks, you need to go online. Sure, you have to pay for shipping and you won’t necessarily get your books on time, but that’s why you can return your “loaners” back to Ned’s or the student store. Don’t be a clueless freshmen–get in the know!
Whether it’s Come Get Used, Amazon or Half that you prefer, we’ve got one better: Big Words. Big Words prowls those other sites and reports back to you on the best deals on the Web. It even tells you all the secret deals, like typing in “BIOLOGY” to get $10 off a $100+ order on Ned’s Web site.
Sometimes buying off a friend doesn’t pan out (and that’s really where you get the best deals). Enter the Web. Ooh. Shiny.

Buying books online as early as possible is the cheapest also, preferably a month or two before the semester starts. That’s when you get really good deals. And if you end up not taking the class, you may take a small lost when selling it back. In fact, you can make money sometimes.
Also, check the libraries if they have your class’ textbook. Of course the downside to this is that someone can recall it. However, you can just recall it back and end up in a recall war.
