What's a better deal? I just got my book list and was wondering where most of you buy your books.

thanks!!

Just be cautious when buying books from Half.com or e-bay. Make sure you check the seller's rating and how long they have been members. And if the price really seems too good to be true then it probably is. I got scammed twice in the same semester buying books off there and not checking the credentials. The sellers would say they have brand new books (usually the newest version) for a really good price (now that i think about it- unrealistic price). You would buy it from them and never get it only to find out that they are no longer registered users on that website.

Now, half.com did reimburse my money back (3 months later) but in the meantime, I had to buy the books at the bookstore. So, before the money reimbursement, I spent about $500 on books I needed. It didn't help that these were Anatomy and Physiology textbooks.

If you're near Mesa and going to any Maricopa County schools, The Textbook Company (www.thetextbookco.com) has some great deals. They have class lists so you don't even have to know what books you need.

Does anybody have tuition reimbursement? If so, then only use the school bookstore!

Also, save all your recepits for the Hope tax credit if you're eligible...
