cheap textbooks!??!

[davincicode]

Hi there everyone,

I have a question about textbooks--- (just trying to get the info of stuff i don't want to regret not having known later)---- so i know med school textbooks are expensive, but anyone know of any cheap places to get them?

has anyone bought them on half.com? or anywhere else? has anyone ordered their textboosk into the Barnes and Noble Stores and used Reader's Advantage 10% discount?

Thanks in advance. I'm just trying to see where I can save some money as a to-be-temporarily-poor medical student!

Thanks,
R. Langdon

try www.bigwords.com and www.fetchbook.info. they're both comparison sites and i found some pretty good offers on them

I always check half.com and ebay. You may even find brand-new ones for much less. For books that I don't think are going to be a great reference for me, I buy them that way. If I want to invest in a textbook for future reference purposes, I buy it at the bookstore at school, but I have done that much, much less second year than I did first year.

Bought most of my books on amazon and BN.com. Books are great/prices inexpensive. Got a Netters for 12.00 and Grants dissector for around 10.00.

I've bought most of my books from students. A lot of people sell books when they move (4th year), or even before (like after step 1). Often it's still the current edition, but sometimes not. But heck, how much has epidemiology changed in the last couple of years? $5 is way more do-able on my budget than $50 or $100.

But I've used amazon and ebay for some major reference books that people tend not to sell (like Netters).
