Where to find cheaper A&P books

Published

I just received my confirmation letter from my school for my class and book and the only information it gives me is "Anatomy & Physiology, Seely" I have looked at eBay and half.com for this book and neither place has it. Where else can I look?

Thanks

It's probably this book: http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072351136/

The last name is spelled Seeley. I would think Amazon has it - I usually buy mine in the "used" section on Amazon. I sell mine back that way, too! :)

Try www.campusi.com. I know some people who have had great luck with this site.

In addition to ebay and half.com, I've also had luck with ecampus.com.

Go to www.textbooksrus.com and buy an "International Edition". International Editions are about half of the price of the American editions, and textbooksrus.com guarantees all of their IE's are EXACTLY the same as the American edition or your money back.

I just purchased the IE of Marieb's 5th edition Human Anatomy book, and it is EXACTLY the same! The only difference is that it is a softcover. All of the pages and chapters are the same, its in color, and the quality is just as good.

The best part is that it is brand new and cost $78.03 vs. $171.99 for a brand new version of the American hard cover.:D

I use http://www.chegg.com. You can rent or buy from them and their prices are usually very competitive. The thing is you can rent from them, then if you want you pay alittle more and just purchase the book if you want to keep it. They also pay pretty good for textbooks also, plus they give you the shipping labels.

I bought two books off amazon and they ended up being the wrong books and the sellers were very stubborn about the returns. They had their books listed under the wrong isbn numbers. I will not use amazon again to purchase textbooks.

Hope this helps,

Dan

I also have good luck searching with http://www.bestbookbuys.com

The nice thing about this site is all you have to do is enter the title, author, or ISBN and a comparison of available books through other websites pops up. It even includes rental options (like through Chegg), used options (from sites like half.com, ebay, & amazon), and even tells you if there is an international edition available. Makes it so easy to find the best price without hopping from one site to another trying to figure out what is available and what the best price is with shipping.

They are my new favorite people. I just bought my summer Chem book that was $48 ANY-where else used for $7.89 and FREE shipping on all orders. I went back and bought a bunch of other books to supplement my nursing courses for next year.

I sent it to my classmates and several of them were like "OMG! I bought a ton of books last night!" It could be addicting, beware.
