It's That Time of the Year

January 2nd, 2009 at 09:18 pm

Textbook shopping.

I need four textbooks this semester. Seems oddly low as the past semesters I've needed 6 or more.

I have bought two so far: one for French Culture, one for Data Structures. If I had bought these two at my school, it would have cost $103. I paid $47 and that includes shipping for the books.

I am looking at a Linear Algebra book that costs $65. I am waiting for a reply to a question I had for the seller before I buy it.

The Diff. Equ. book is selling for $225 at my school! I can't believe how much it costs! I haven't found it on half.com, but I will check out other sites for the book. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is available elsewhere (and for a lot less!).

I went to the bank today. I deposited about $350 into my IRA! I am very excited!

    I always buy international books, I know we're not suppose to but last semester the books cost my $12 and some change vs $60 or so dollars including shipping and it is the same exact material
    Heres some places I checkout:

    I forgot to note the ones marked marketplace are international books. I got one book a few semesters ago for $4
