Wow! I just bought my college textbooks for the Spring semester and AM I Happy! I saved almost $300!

I went to my university’s Bookstore online and checked the price of the 14 books I need. Wow!

Fourteen Books! Do these professors think I’m made of money?

Anyway, I pulled the ISBN numbers, titles, and prices while I was on the bookstore website and I set up a text file in Notepad with all of the info.

I thought it was going to be painful checking out all the Cheap College Textbook sites, but I cheated a little, and only checked prices at half.com and at Amazon.com.

Everybody has their favorite book site but Amazon really is Great!

  • Amazon lets you cut and past your whole list of ISBN numbers into their search form.
  • Amazon checks prices at tons of online bookstores so I really can hunt for the cheapest prices.
  • Amazon also has free shipping on a lot of books if your total order is over $25 (and you know it will be).
  • Best of all, I only have to enter all my delivery and payment info once instead of buying at multiple sites and inputting all that info multiple times.

I also input the list of ISBN numbers at half.com just to make sure I was getting the best deal. To be honest, 4 of my books were so much cheaper at half.com that I had to buy them there.

Well, I just thought everyone ought to know - buy used textbooks online and you will save a bundle.

Good Luck!
