<p>I just went through the kids’ courses getting prices from Barnes and Nobles for the textbooks in their courses. So far, the savings run about $135 with two classes to go. In one case, the new price at B&N is less than the used price at the bookstore.</p>
<p>In another case, it’s an unbundling issue. Our daughter doesn’t need the student solutions manual. I’ve asked her to email her professor to see whether the online access service is needed. If not, then we’ll just get the textbook. BN usually gets me textbooks within a week, sometimes less than that. It has taken longer in the past a few times but those tend not to be for textbooks.</p>
