If you’re talking about CHM1045, the FSU package is just the textbook and a Mastering Chemistry access code.
If it’s the purple cover of Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, you can get a copy of the textbook for about $10 on Amazon (or less) and then buy the MasteringChemistry access code for like $40.
[Amazon.com: Used and New: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach](http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0131000659/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&storeAttribute=b&qid=1310156916&sr=8-1&submit.see-all-buying-options=see-all-buying-options&condition=all)

If it’s the blue cover though (the 2nd edition that’s newer), getting it from the bookstore might actually be cheaper (shocking!) because the textbook is over $110 from Amazon + the cost of the Mastering Chemistry code.

If it’s the lab manual, I’m pretty sure that only FSU stocks it. I believe that the CHM1045 lab manuals are actually written by someone in the department.
