Discussion Question: Buying Textbooks

[fashion_piranha]

I went back to school on Monday, January 5th.  I know it seems a little early, but my school runs on the quarter system, not semester, so we start class at the beginning of January and have finals near the end of March so that we can squeeze in the spring quarter from April - June.  I was feeling pretty confident because I'd already purchased most

while I was still in school the campus bookstore was pretty good. The fiction books were 25% off the list price, but the textbooks - even if they were fiction books, as I was an English major - were regular price or higher :(

I ended up ordering a lot in my last year online, particularly for my comic book course. They were way too marked up in the bookstore :(

I always waited until a week after classes started to get my books, or went on a friday or saturday.

I usually bought mine from school, or bought a used book from someone. The bookstore is always crowded though, so it always took awhile to go in and out.

I've tagged you for a meme, if you are interested.
