Like most other colleges you are probably going to find them cheaper if you purchased through ebay or even amazon.com. Since I've discovered amazon.com I've never purchased another textbook through the college bookstore as I've found amazon.com to be anywhere between $20-$50 cheaper per textbook. I'm sure Excelsior has a college bookstore. Good Luck

I would look at amazon first as well. Excelsior does have their own book store but more expensive...I have checked their site out.

I found most of my books on textbooks.com. I bought the one previous edition usually for under $10 each.. Hope this helps!

The books can be found cheaper from many sources. The Excelsior bookstore is not cheap and you have to add in the cost of shipping. But it is convenient to have them all listed there for you. I found some of mine at the nursing section in college bookstores.

Don't forget about Half.com for your books, they have a good source of books and some great prices.

I have found all required text books on amazon.com and to make sure I got the correct edition I would copy the ISBN# from the excelsior book store web site and paste it into the search on amazon and was directed imediately to the correct one. Hope this helps. I have bought all of them used without any problems. Amazon is even cheaper than half.com or ebay.

i found all of mine on ebay, i spent exactly 206.00 total and that was for EVERYBOOK plus a few extra supplemental readings...that includes all my shipping too! I've also resold a lot of them for more than what i paid to begin with...i ONLY bought the books an edition or two behind and have had NO trouble passing my exams!

Yes, I brought all of my books online from amazon.com they are cheaper and make sure you get the right ISBN number and the correct edition of the books they are using. Amazon.com is the cheapest place I have found to get these books at a great price.
