Tips for saving on new & used textbooks
- Used textbooks cost less. Before purchasing a new textbook, try to find used textbooks.
- Older editions cost even less. Ask your instructor if a previous edition of the text is acceptable. It could mean the difference between $175 for a new textbook and $15 for a used textbook!
- Consider international edition textbooks. International edition textbooks are versions of a textbook produced for overseas markets.
- Reduce your shipping costs. Try to purchase multiple textbooks from the same bookseller.
- Order early. Don't wait until the last minute to order textbooks. There is no guarantee you will get your textbooks in time. Plan ahead!
- Order local. Whenever possible, order your textbooks from booksellers close to you. Not only will this help you save on shipping, but you will get your textbooks much quicker.
- Ask the bookseller. If you are unsure about a textbook's title, edition, or whether it comes with any additional components, such as teachers' modules, or cd-rom software, contact the bookseller directly and ask!
