Textbooks--pay attention freshmen

<p>Hriundeli is right – the bookstore will lower its price to either it’s financial minimum (what they paid for the book) or to the price that you find on a site that they will price-match to (whichever is higher).</p>

<p>The new Caltech student government website has a price-match utility that will automatically look up book requirements for courses based on what caltech bookstore has and display a list of prices from the bookstore and all the websites it will price-match to – this is a convenient way to find the lowest price for each book.</p>

<p>The price-match utility can be found here: <a href=“http://bagel.caltech.edu/~ksarma/pricematch/index.php[/url]”>http://bagel.caltech.edu/~ksarma/pricematch/index.php&lt;/a&gt; . Note that this website is still under development – most of the other tools on the site are not fully functional, but the pricematch utility has been completed and updated with new information to prepare for the upcoming term.</p>
