<p>Also, you may find out in the first week of classes that your professor doesn’t really require some of the specific textbooks. Both my D’s found the best luck w/ Bookholders, Amazon, and the very best deal (for semesters after this first one) is to find someone who is currently taking the class who will sell you their book directly. They can find out how much Bookholders would sell their used book for, and even if you pay a little bit above that price, you’ll both come out ahead. They’ll get more from you than Bookholders would pay them, and you’ll pay less that if you’d bought it from Bookholders.</p>
