Check to see if any of your friends are interested in sharing a textbook if they are taking the same class as you

Tip #2: Check your school library
Instructors sometimes reserve a few copies of their course's book at the library, which you may be able to check out short-term
You might find old editions of textbooks that you can use

Tip #3: Used booksDon’t ever buy brand new textbooks unless you have absolutely no choice
Don’t buy your textbooks at your school’s bookstore-they are usually the most expensive
Check online stores-Amazon, Ebay, ISBN.nu - to do comparison shopping

Tips #5: Textbook Rentals
Could save between 50%-80% off the list price-remember this is the saving when compared to a brand new textbook. However compared to used books, the saving is probably only up to 30% at best
Always check out the return policy-you might need to pay $25 penalty for returning late and might have to pay the full price if you don’t return the book two weeks after the due date
