Buying Textbooks. HELP!!!!

I definitely need help. I went on whywaitforbooks.com and the prices are very expensive. I'm sure the used books are already sold out by now too. I've tried looking for books for my classes on amazon but finding them is hard even when using the ISBN. My wolverine access and barnes and noble through Whywaitforbooks.com also give me conflicting info on which books i need for certain classes. Is anyone taking math115 and Chem130? If so, what books did you get, where did you buy them, and how much were they? Thanks in advance =]

Just use the ISBN provided by wolverine access and put it into amazon and buy them used that way. That's what I did and I saved over $200 as compared to if I'd bought them from one of the school's bookstores. I've never heard of whywaitforbooks and have not used it.

The textbook for math 115 is very expensive. I was lucky to get mine at about $100. (couldn't find any used ones at all since this edition is relatively new)

if you have a friend who used to take the class, start talking to him/her about the textbook now.

also, check alibris.com
I bought my MATH 285 book there for less than 100
