<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Does anyone know if WashU takes part in the textbook racket of releasing a new version of each book every year to make money off of each student? If not, do they sell old books on campus somewhere that’s significantly cheaper than new copies?</p>

<p>I’m looking for the books for Gen Chem, Gen Chem Lab, Physics (197, I think - I saw in another thread that it’s the ‘honors’ version, but it’s got a better teacher), Writing 1, Intro to BME, Biology, and Calculus 3 (and 2, if I didn’t get a 5 on the AP or a 4 and do well on the placement exam).</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I may have to fight you over those texts (freshman bme’r here too).</p>

<p>I’m fairly certain you can buy used books through the bookstore. Otherwise, try other online places (I had to buy books for high school) - I’ve saved hundreds using amazon, target, and b&n/borders. Half.com is also really good.</p>

<p>I’m guessing the “international” edition is a lot cheaper than the “US” edition? :D</p>
