Bigwords.com has saved me so much money. Very easy to use, and customizable if you want rentals/used/international editions.

I like the information on this blog. All the ideas are good, but they do have their own downsides. Why go through all the online downloading procedures that could be contaminated with viruses and malware? Check out the link below for more information on how to get textbooks for free.

Very Good Information. On-line books and swapping books would not only save money but would be good for the environment and help de-clutter college rooms and homes. Also, considering our present economy and difficulty of locating employment after graduation it would encourage and assist more students to be able to afford college.

TextbookX.com is a great cost efficient site to purchase books from.

I usually use http://textspyder.com to get my textbooks. From there you can compare prices from pretty much everyone who sells/rents online in one spot.

Check out Ebexy.com... new site set up for students to sell directly to each other... Its a student marketplace for students to sell from anywhere in the country. It helps control the cost since you are not limited to where you are in school and opens up the market...

I go to CSU and I rent books every semester. I usually save around $400 every quarter, because law books are expensive. I don't rent on campus. Instead, I rent books through online sites such as www.CheapBookRenter.com or CampusbookRentals.com because the have the lowest prices.

All this talk about how college textbooks are expensive, I agree. Me being a recent grad I am glad I do not have to buy/rent textbooks in the near future. For those who are looking for discounts check out this site, http://scholarship.bookrenter.com
I cam across this scholarship that is worth up to $25,000 and they even give discounts on textbooks for entering the scholarship. Pretty cool. Check it out, http://scholarship.bookrenter.com
