Her Biology textbook for her first class in college had an outrageous cost of $202. The Calculus book costs $185. The required book list for her 16 credits of classes totals almost $600. I know they are complex, technical books, but what a chunk of change!
The college bookstore claims that they rarely sell used books for science and math classes. Really? I searched abebooks.com and half.com and found both books for 1/3 of the price. The problem: delivery may take 9 days. Why didn't I think of this sooner?
We considered renting books, but my daughter is not disciplined enough to return books. Forgotten redbox movies are scattered throughout the house.
