Hi,

I'm in Toronto and want to buy the EK verbal books ASAP (is it worth buying the Bio section too over TPR books?). Could you please tell me if there's a quicker way of buying it instead of through the official website?

Thanks!

Go on amazon--it's cheaper and you can select the 1 day shipping option!

Yup, amazon. Or craigslist.. Does canada have craigslist? I got the EK 1001 set (chem, orgo, physics, VR 101) on craigslist for $40. Like-new. No waiting for shipping and you get to see the stuff before you buy it.

This board has a for sale/advertisement section you may want to check out.

Is paperback the original material or is that photocopy?

There are too many sellers who look sketchy. Could you tell me who you bought yours from (were they actually new?)? Could anyone please inform me of credible vendors?

You can buy them at Chapters/Indigo or from Amazon. Or try Kijiji. I got mine off Kijiji and they were fine (and dirt cheap).

Were they written on?

Were they written on?

They were written on in pencil (which I erased off). There was a bit of pen, but no biggy (I only paid $10 a book, so I wasn't complaining). I should specify that these were the 1001 books and not the full set (I got the full set new with my prep course). I've bought other prep books off Kijiji before and they've been in really good condition. If you're really bothering about pencil marks and such, Amazon/Chapters would be your best option.

Is the second edition of the 101 passages any better?

I have the second edition and it doesn't have the mistakes that others have talked about (like, the scale in the back was fixed to reflect the new shorter MCAT format).

It may also be worth checking Premed101 to see if anyone is selling stuff on there as well.
