XxwonderbredxX Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 So, I got all my college books, except for two that are in the mail now. I'm taking three Automotive classes (my major) And I never thought my Fuels/Emissions book would be this fat. Yes, text books are normally fat, but this is just one subject of the 11 Automotive classes. I spent $600 bucks on 6 books this semester.

NOMNOM Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm taking mostly senior level courses this semester, so I'm only renting two of them for about ~$70. I already own the basic ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Oracle Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) torrented 1 book, you can do this? saved. also got a certificate from promotion that gave me free books blah blah Edited August 27, 2014 by The Gooseman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccaincracker Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 you can do this? saved. also got a certificate from promotion that gave me free books blah blah ya just search for a pdf version of whatever textbook you need and you may be able to find it. This would really only work if when in lecture your books aren't used or if you are on a computer during class to have to pdf open. Wouldn't recommend for math classes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.lsd Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yeah, you got completely ripped off l0l. Far from it. When one uses the books for reference everyday and reads the extra sections not covered in class during ones free time and has been doing so for the past few years, it's hard to think one was ripped off.

No, I mean, you could likely find them used for much cheaper than that unless you have some tool that actually writes their own exclusive textbook.
