I’d like to add my two cents to the article ‘Much More than Pocket Change: Online Book Bargains Add Up.’ When I was an undergraduate at Stony Brook University’ (2001-2004), I very rarely bought my books from the on-campus bookstore. I would find out the ISBN numbers of the books I needed. Then I used the site www.campusbooks.com. It searches all of the major online book retailers and shows you the lowest price. Be careful though. If the search comes up with a retailer whose price seems too good to be true do some research on the customer satisfaction of that company. Also verify via e-mail with the company that you are indeed buying the correct version and that it is new or used. I hope that helps this year’s undergraduates.
