best option: buy used textbook from a friend/older person in your major/frat brother or sorority sister--they will sell them for about half the price you'd buy at varney's or union bookstore. i bought my books from varney's this last semester for about $20 each, and when trying to sell them back varney's only offered to pay me about $3 per book.

second best option: half.com or somewhere else online

WTF is your major?  I would have saved a small fortune if my books had only cost $20, this being before Amazon, etc were around.

my major is history. so even though my books are about $20, i have to get around 4-8 books per class...so doesn't end up being too cheap in the end.  :eek:

Piss is in a bad mood today.  Who crap in your cereal Piss?
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

1. Torrent, usually can find the eBook or PDF version. Sometimes they may be an edition behind but no biggie.

Saul/guys/girls best torrent site(s) for this? My usual sites have been no help :(

Meh, I'm over it.  Plus, it ran off Weird Robert's Wife, which makes it d-baggy because she ruled.  So....meh.

If you're just going to be a freshman, those classes don't usually use their books they "require."  Definitely wait to see if you'll need the book!  Or, befriend someone in there who already has the book and share!

You should hand out textbooks, for those of us who are studious.
