can you find someone at your school who already took the class to borrow theirs? Just a suggestion my other would be amazon and the poster above already suggested that!

From personal experience with texts, I can tell you that there is probably not enough of a difference to make it necessary to have the latest edition. I suggest going to the Chegg website and renting the 5th edition. I rented one text this term that was one edition old, (our instructor specifically said it was ok), for $11.99 for the entire semester. I doubt that you can beat that anywhere else unless someone gives you the sixth edition for free.

CHEGG'S ROCKS!!! Thank goodness my nursing instructor turned me onto it. By the way, good luck with the psych nursing. It is just not my forte, and hats off to those wonderful nurses who can do it.

i went to amazon.com marketplace and bought used for every book, my thoughts being that since I went to school, I may want to look up something again someday....although I haven't cracked them in about 1.5 years...lol.

OHH! This is timely for me! I had no idea there were rent a book websites out there! I just made a huge order from Amazon yesterday and was happy that it beat the school store by a lot. I have one more that wasn't available that I can look at some of these links for. Thanks!!

You search for your book, and it looks at Amazon, Amazon marketplace, Half.com, Chegg, and a few other sites, and tells you how much your book would cost from each website.
bookrenter.com and campusbookrentals.com also rent books.
