Last minute cookouts and three-day-weekends are signaling the end of summer, and many college students are making the dreaded trek back to campus. Moving in, meeting the roommates and deciphering one’s new schedule are enough tasks to handle for any student. When expenses like college textbooks and meal plans are tacked on, the new school year is enough to make any student want to run back to mom and dad’s. However, cutting costs doesn’t have to be too painful.
Before you get images of semester long Ramen-noodle dinners in your head, there are ways to save your cash, such as utilizing college textbook services. The average college student spends around $700-$1,000 a year, according to a Student Financial Assistance Advisory Committee report. While this may be the norm for university-level textbooks, students and parents alike must deal with the financial aftermath.
College textbook services like eCampus provide free shipping if you spend around $50 on their site, reports 6StarReviews.com. Besides offering virtual campus bookstores and massive clearance sections, this service allows students to resell their used textbooks to other students who may need a particular title. This not only saves the buyer some cash, it gives the seller a chance to redeem a few bucks on last semester’s books.
When it feels like endless piles of bills are stacking up on your dorm room desk, the last thing on your mind is studying. Inevitable nights out on the town and living independently contribute to the estimated $28 billion a year spent on entertainment by college enrollees. When textbook costs alone are added into this equation, the burden placed on any student can be heavy. Using a college textbook service will prove to be cost-efficient in the long run and will even save you from that long line down at the bookstore.

Yes, you can send sellers on Amazon a message to ask them questions. Click on the seller's name to go into their profile. Under the "At a Glance" tab, you should see a link for "Contact This Seller" on the lower right-hand side.
You could try SocialBib. People trade books for free, but if the ones you need are actually all new editions, you probably won't be able to find them that way.

I use the site Textbook411.com – it searches all the major bookstores for the Best price on any book (including amazon, barnes and noble, half.com, Valore Books, and tons more) Its truly your best option!
I sell mine back to the college, they give you half of what you spent on them (my college does anyways). But before I sell them, I make sure I don't need them for any other classes I may take.
I would only sell the ones you are for sure not going to ever use again. Lets say you are an English major and are going to be an English Teacher, why would you keep the math books? Keep the English books for reference when teaching. I plan on getting into a Master's program for School Psychology. Once I start taking those classes, I will keep those books to have in my office when I start my career for reference. Hope I helped!
more!! i want more fans (girls in sundresses preferred).
At the college I went to, they had a program for those that were on a limited income or on scholarships or grants and didn't have enough to buy the books from campus book store.
Basically it is this:
All the books were used and in fairly good shape and were donated by upperclassmen and they got credit for donating them on their accounts. Unlike where you take them back to the bookstore at the end of the semester for credit towards the next books you have to buy and where they didnt' give you no where near enough to really matter.
BUT and here is the catch—-not just anyone could get books here, it was strictly for those on a limited income, kinda like getting free lunch in grade school. You had to get the forms filled out before first semester started and then submit them in time in order to find out if you were approved or not. If so then you were allowed to get the books here at a major discount, like 75% off or better. You were then required to return the books here after you were done with the classes so that they can then be passed on to others. If you didn't return them you were charged 25.00 per book you don't return. Which if you choose to keep the books, is not a bad deal as you could use them later on if need be.
You might want to see about getting this at your school by suggesting it to the student council or even the dean of the school. I thought this was a great thing for all the kids, it made college truely affordable for those that were on a fixed income.
Good luck to you. And if you have anymore questions about this or would like more details about it, just let me know. I would be happy to help.

I've never rented a college text from an on-line source before but can't be much different from going to the bookstore and buying a used book, then turning around at the end of the semester and selling it right back to the bookstore. The only difference I can see is that it would be MUCH cheaper renting the books.
Renting books out is the new, up-and-coming thing to do. Make sure you rent from a reputable person. Check out their feedback and compare the prices of other renters.
Buying new and used textbooks is always the question- usually the difference between prices is anywhere between $20- $50 in difference between the two.
What I have always done with buying textbooks is look at the actual courses themselves. Is the course that this textbook is for my major? or is it just one I am taking for fun? If it is my major I am more likely to lean towards getting a new textbook- not just because it won't be highlighted, but also because I am more likely to keep it after the class has finished and so you want it to be in the best state it possibly can be. If the course is not one of my major courses- then unless it is a subject I extremely like- I tend to go to the used section and get those textbooks and save money that way.
As for your question about whether the previous owner failed the course- if the person actually read the textbook and highlighted it and made notes in the margins I'm inclined to say that the student has a low probability of having failed the course. Normally students fail the course for not reading their textbooks, or if they do- not fully interacting with the books and completely absorbing everything.
Old highlights and annotations can be extremely helpful- this is especially true if you know that the person that had the text was an extremely good student- but can be true even if the person wasn't. For instance- last year I took a Bioethics course and I bought my textbook used off of a person who took the class last year. Now- to put it lightly, this textbook was very dry and very hard to get through but because the person who used it last year and made annotations in the margin and highlighted important facts it was a little easier to get through. In a way it's kind of like having a guiding hand through your course to direct you a long the way who has been in your situation.
In the end its all personal preference- but if you do get new textbooks- if you didn't like the course, or don't want to keep the textbooks after you finish the course you will usually get more money back, and be able to sell the books for more if they were originally new. Currently I'm a third year university student- so I have been in your situation numerous times. I hope this helps and good luck in college!
Pure gold, I love it.

I've mentioned quite a lot about college textbooks on the Kindle here:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090720135726AAUiQMG
I love my Kindle very much. If you are thinking of buying a Kindle, I'll say get it and you won't regret. Since Amazon provide books for the Kindle cheaper than actual books, it has saved me quite a lot of money. Right now I've read over 10 books with the Kindle, and I really like the idea that I can bring and store all the books with the handy device. Besides, it uses the e-ink technology, so even I read with the device for long hours, I don't feel tired. My only complaint is the white case, right now all the Kindles are in white color… I think it will be cool if I can have a black or deep blue color Kindle
I'll suggest you to read this review from a top reviewer, it outlines quite a lot of benefits of the Kindle and also why it is worth especially at the end of the review:

Hope this helps.
If you're taking the class, you're expected to buy the book. If you have constant access to the book to be able to photocopy it, why not read the original? (I assume you're borrowing it from a friend or from the library.) Photocopying is just as expensive in the long run, assuming you're paying per page, and you don't have a book to sell back at the end of the year . . .
