New site? Maybe some day.
|
do you know any good sites to look for books or even download an e-book?
i need to get a book and cds for my music class i'm taking.... its $58 for the book and $50 for the cds! there is three of them.
CRAWFORD, INTRO.TO AMERICA'S MUSIC
the only reason i'm doing this is so i can get into audio production...
that is a lot of money for a cd |
|
That's not really that expensive for brand new. Textbooks are fucking expensive.
Check out half.com and ebay, local craigslist, or post a wanted ad on there. I doubt you'll be able to find an "e-book" version of your textbook. Might also wanna try making a quick flyer and putting it up on a few bulletin boards in the main Berklee building on Mass Ave. |

Indeed, I'm not in college anymore but some semesters when I did 18 credits (6 courses) I'd be raped for $450-500 just for textbooks, some of them USED, and I'm sure it costs even more now... |
|
hmm 58 isn't that expensive it was the cds for 50....... i spent 90 on a used book... this book was just annouced by the teacher and classes start wendesday so i got to pick it up the total will be around $350-400 this semester. |

alibris.com has some good deals; not sure if they'd have what you want though |
|
no problem. i've gotten about 6 books on there at half price |
|
is it a common practice to not give a book list til the first day of school? because this is bullshit! i'm probably gonna have to pay full price for books because of this. |

You'll be lucky to get it 10 days INTO school. Some professors really don't have their shit together. I didn't even bother to look for my books until like 4 days ago. $240.00! Not one used book. Bastards. |

i found that i could search for the books assigned to certain classes once i enrolled in them the semester before on the school's website, but some teachers don't use the same books assigned to a specific class.
here's a trick i used to save a shitload of money:
even though it took a shitload of time, i bought all my books the first day of school last semester, read the 2 shortest ones and took notes within a week, then scanned the rest of the books onto my computer. i was able to return all the books within 3 weeks and got all my money back, but still had all the info. clearly, i was bored as fuck, haha |

There's one art history class I know I'll need to buy some gay thousand dollar textbook for. Other than that I'm taking journalism courses and I've been had my AP Style Book. Word |

It's pronounced tit(ian). |
