Heh heh, wait till you try and sell them back at the end of the
semester. Then suddenly, magically, the gold plating has worn off.
Used book stores are good, and sometimes students will sell you old
books of theirs for a slightly higher price than they'd get from the
school, but still less than what they'd cost new. Everybody wins!

Jenny, try to find out which ones you actually need, rather than which
ones are recommended. Then work out which of those you are going to need
for most of the time. The rest are a good bet for seeking out *early* in
the libraries.
Second-hand bookstores are good too. Also, if you know anyone from the
previous year who has finished up that part of the course, they are likely
to be more than willing to part with their cast-off books for a nominal
sum.
Skinning down the book lists to ensure I had beer money was one of my

Absolutely. Go used books all the way. And take my advice, if at all
possible keep the student loans at a bare minimum. Even subsidized loans
add up quick; before you know it, you're in the hole tens of thousands of
dollars.

What are you going to be studying? Things like legal textbooks, and
computer ones are notoriously expensive. At about 50 dollars each,
you only need to buy eight (only, he says) to run up 400
buckaroonees.

Yup, sounds about right.
I buy all my textbooks used when I can, hopefully from
upper-classmen. Even so, $300 is about right. I do agree with Steve
Pritchard, though- there are a lot of them you really don't need. Only
get the essential ones. I had to spend about $100 on a Physics text
myself last semester. Good thing that the class spans two semesters and
only requires that one book...

If the college has a women on the way type center,they sometimes have
books available for loan. Try u sed books. Some towns have off campus
stores that sell even cheaper than the college bookstore.There's also
an online bookstore that sells new and used. Maybe someone here knows
the address.
If you know the course numbers and the teacher, the bookstore usually
has the books sorted by number and instructor.
Good luck!!

I remember the Morrisville bookstore. Not much help. And no, there
aren't any used bookstores off-campus there. Lots of bars, but no
bookstores. (By the way, check out The Fort, Jen. One of my favorite
dives.)
My best advice: find other students willing to sell their books.
Otherwise, prepare for sticker shock.

Thirty some years ago, at The Word's Largest Cow College and Trade
School (aka Purdue U.) a poli sci professor named Kofmehl --a boring old
ass who wore his Phi Beta Kappa key every day and was given to hand
gestures meant to draw everyone's attention to it-- wrote a text book
called THE PROFESSIONAL STAFFS OF CONGRESS, which became a standard in
scores of poli sci departments all over the country.
It was a thirty five dollar book when that was a real serious price,
even for a textbook. And _every_ year there was a new edition, which
meant you couldn't sell the old one back to the bookstore when your
semester or two of hearing Kenny the K drone on and on (and on) was
done.
The only change, ever, was in _one_ of the appendices, which listed the
names and some other information about the people working in each
congressman's office. As those people moved on, KK updated the list.
And sold thousands of copies of his book every year.
Just checked amazon.com and TPSOC is listed, but its out of print.
Kofmehl's probably been withdrawn too, and even as I type is probably
trying to get the imps at whatever corner of hell in which he resides to
notice that Phi Beta Kappa key...

Hmm. The ones I keep in contact with are not in that curriculum, sadly. One
is in Nursing, the other in the Music department. (I'm an ADM Brother, by the

I had one lecturer tell us in the first lecture :

textbook next year, so sell it before next year's students find out."
This was in the first week of a first year subject.

This is good advice, up to a point. Professors and other university-type
educators are under pressure to publish occasionally. Sometimes the text-
books they teach from are the ones they've written. To keep up current
publishing credits, they will sometimes change just a chapter in the text
for the next year. Then, in their classes, they will sometimes test on the
bulk of the textbook (which is the static info) but they will also ask test
questions on the new stuff to 'force' the students to buy the newest text.
Royalties help pay the bills.
If the books you need are not in this category, then buy used books. Sometimes,
you can stand outside the school's bookstore and buy them off students who are
heading in to get what they can for the old books. That's how I got several of
my books for cheap. I paid the student more than they'd get from the bookstore
but way less than the store would have sold them to me--even when they still
had some used ones. Those often sell first.

Think about it before you sell them back. I still use some of my old
textbooks, and they *are* worth the gold it would take to plate them! Most
especially true for the textbooks in the basic classes, not so much for most
of the texts I used in my higher-level classes.

Last year, Da Kid's text books cost close to $500 bucks. He was a
senior in a private (but very good) high school. We missed the
"pre-owed" books which would have reduced the cost so the suggestions
you've gotten about trying to buy used books is solid.
Another place you might check is campus bulletin boards. Students
*have* been known to tack up notices, "I have these here books I needa
sell." They're trying to sell the texts they had, to get the money to
buy the ones they need.
The first year is going to be a crunch, Smoke-ster. After this, the
texts you had to buy might be resaleable (is there such a word?) to help
offset the expense of the books you'll need . . . next year.

Look for notices--most schools have some central

boards. The big board near the library. The other big

There's a lesson to be learned here. Non-fiction pays better than fiction
(unless it is a best-seller). My book sells for $23.95 day after day after
day (Lutz e-mails me daily with good news).
A man I know writes math and accounting books and sells about 2000 copies a
year @ close to $25 a book wholesale to colleges, universities and private
schools. Do the math.
Every two years he puts out a *next* edition of the same book and re-creates
the money tree.
There is a twist to what he does, however. He writes these books in the
form of mystery novels. Yes, really. He incorporates math and accounting
into the stories to teach the principles of those areas of study. His
characters have jobs such as dentists, mechanics, engineers, bakers, etc.
So, he's really writing non-fiction fiction, eh? He even transports the
story line from book to book, recycling it into another profession and area
of study. Smart guy.
My book about the governance of school boards is non-fiction, written in
Essay Style that reads as if it were a series of short, *true* vignettes
that reads like an Expose'--hence its name. My characters are business
people, professionals, blue collar workers, clerks, homemakers, etc.--all of
them taken from real life, and serving on school boards.
When board members read my book, they are reading about themselves both as
board members and as regular wage earning men and women. That's why it's so
successful.
Damn I'm good.

This is so true! I've found that my non-fiction articles and books
sell tons faster than my short stories and fictional books. Why? I
surmise it's because just about every writer has that novel or short
story in them and wants to see it published, thus a glut of fiction.

That really depends on the course and major. I have
some upper level engineering texts that don't go out of
style (Timoshenko) and some basic works that do (Woodsen's
Intro to Engineering and Computers). I also have and use my
grandfather's Handbook of Physics and Chemistry, 11th
edition, © 1914, which I have mentioned in other posts, and
my own Marks Handbook, 7th Edition, © 1958 and 1967. There
are a few more entries on the periodic table now, but most
of the physical constants and formulae remain unchanged.
The price, however, has changed. The Handbook of
Physics and Chemistry originally cost five dollars.

Last year, I wrote a column in the local paper about how a new teacher
recommended Amazon.com, even with shipping charges. (I promptly was
told I wasn't in the Fall budget for the paper. Wonder if it had
anything to do with the fact that three of four bookstores are owned by
the same guy? Nothing like small town politics) Barnes and Noble took
over one of the bookstores, promising to give 50% rebate on new texts.
Some of the profs have quit using texts and do handouts exclusively. If
you take, e.g. History of Art, which is four inches thick, weighs about
eight pounds, and is loaded with nice color plates, you are looking at
$75.
A crappy little academic paperback -- $11.50. I just went and priced my
books for two courses ... $71 w/o tax.
Someone is making boocu bucks and I'll bet it ain't the text authors.

The prices are out of control. But that's what happens when there's
a large demand. Nowadays everyone goes to college, even people
who have no reason to.
I've had only 2 or 3 prof's who don't use textbooks. Another used
Dover books because they're actually a pretty good deal. Most
of them are paperbacks that cost $9.95 or so. You get a lot of
information packed into them and quite often they're written by
bigwigs in the field.

I still have mine, and even though it's around 15 years old it's
a great text. Is H.P. Janson's "History of Art" still a
standard? Mine's only 3 inches thick, so I guess it's gotten
bigger.
