<p>There are no new or used books available at the bookstore for COMM 1800 Making Business Work. Will they get more in before classes start, or will I have to try to find it somewhere else?</p>
<p>My son and I went to the UVA Bookstore yesterday to buy books and pick up his computer. They told him that the prof ordered the book just last Friday, and it won’t be in for a couple of weeks. The clerk indicated that it is not a textbook, but rather a series of publications that is being printed. Apparently it will only be available through the UVA Bookstore and there should be plenty of them.</p>
<p>Prof. Kemp who teaches COMM 1800 informed some students on how to get the book. You can either get it from the Bookstore or through the instructions he gave. ou save around $10 ordering it this way. These are the instructions he gave:</p>

<p>TEXT: How Business Works: Making Profits, Taking Risks, and Creating Value
AUTHOR: Robert S. Kemp</p>
<p>If you take it with Kemp, YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY THE BOOK.</p>
<p>I took his class and did just fine without it. Save yourself some money.</p>
<p>^^6281597, were you at a disadvantage for not purchasing the book?
I’d hate to get into class only to realize that I don’t know what’s going on because I didn’t read what was assigned.</p>
<p>OP, if you know anyone who is currently attending UVA, ask them to ask their friends who have taken COMM 1800 if they have a textbook that they would be willing to sale. The cheapest I saw the book for was around $110 (and that was through the link that akujieze provided). I’m sure there are plenty of students willing to sell it for $50 or less, you’ll just have to ask around.</p>
<p>@coolpg the problem with that is, this years book was written by Kemp. Last year’s was not. Last years book was the 9th edition of some book (I forget the title) this year’s is the “debut version” of a binder-ready book.</p>
<p>Ouch! If that’s the case, we’ll probably have to buy the book since he’ll be more inclined to teach with a book that he actually spent his time writing!</p>
<p>I was not at a disadvantage for not having bought the book. I did get it from the bookstore to study for the final and midterm, but returned it the next day at no cost to myself.</p>
<p>Do you think we will be able to buy the book at the bookstore during the first week of class?</p>
<p>Yup we will! But mind you, there are 2 sections of Comm 1800, and roughly 450 students in each, and Kemp provided a link for students to pre-order the books elsewhere. So I’m not exactly sure how many the bookstore will have, but get it quick!</p>
