Hello everyone!!

I just got the list of books I need for the Fall 09 term. I am about to go berserk because just by looking at the prices of the books I need. I need to pay around $450-$500 and I am not even full time lol. I usually trust Amazon to buy stuff but I see that the books I need are muuuch more expensive on there than what is listed on my books list. -_____-;;; Where do you buy your books? I went to half.com, too and couldn't find the AP books I need. Ahhh! (But I am sure the other books are on there.)

I can't find "A & P REVEALED WORKBOOK & CD V1 PACKAGE" anywhere. Has anyone used it? Where did you get it? How much was it?

Oh and this one... "HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY-GET READY A&P- 360 CD".... it's making my head spin. :(

Well thanks!!! :typing

I use Amazon on a regular basis, and I saved about $300.00 buying my nursing books from them then from the bookstore!! Gotta love buying on line! I do know that Chegg.com is supposed to have pretty good deals, from what I have heard. I have never used them though! Hope you find the books you need!

Thanks! Yes, I know, I love Amazon. It was the first place I went to but unfortunately, it seems it isn't working for me much for this term, atleast for AP. I will have to check for my human growth book and my ethics book. Ahh. I'll have to check chegg.com, thanks so much!

Oh, I think I am going to buy a workbook from there, LOL. I was so excited when I found out they sell textbooks. I think BN has a wider variety than Borders...

I have had good luck with textbooks.com. Also the seller on Amazon Marketplace may be a good place to look.

Check on ebay. The are selling international editions which are way cheaper then US editions. The content of these book are the same as US editions and I never have had any problems with selling those book on Amazon!

First place I look is the Amazon Marketplace. Then I check out Half/eBay (same thing). If I can't get it from one of those two then I just suck it up and pay the Amazon price for a new book. It galls me, though.
