Lowest Cost for Textbooks

You can save hundreds of dollars on your college textbooks! Back away from the college bookstore….. Read how my daughter saved $258.58 on just 2 textbooks!

Campusbooks.com  has a side by side price comparison of the cheapest prices for textbooks including eBooks and renting text books so you can see in an instant who has the lowest price. Often you can buy used college textbooks, even cheaper than you can rent them.

Campus Books will show you the prices from the major booksellers such as half.com, Biblio, Abe Books, Alibris, Amazon.com, Barnes &Noble.com,Textbooks.com, Book Byte, Chegg (rentals) and Campus Book Rentals all at once, a real time saver!

Last month, Congress required colleges to list assigned textbooks and their prices in the course schedule. Here are the ISBN numbers of two of my daughter’s textbooks and some price comparisons:

ISBN: 9780769301693 University Bookstore price $218.25 new and $163.75 used. At CampusBooks.com, this book is $46.32 to rent it or $67.53 to buy it. At Amazon.com this book is selling for $71.68. Using Campusbooks.com would save you  $171.93 if you rent it and save you $150.72 if you purchase it. That is the savings on 1 book!

ISBN: 9781428312159 University Bookstore price $136.25 new and $102.25 used. On Amazon.com, this book is selling for $100.45. At Campusbooks.com, you can rent this book for $49.60 or purchase it used for $81.99. You will save $86.65 to rent it for the semester or $54.26 to buy the book.

Using the cheapest option, she saved $258.58 on these 2 books.

Look up your classes on your course schedule and buy your textbooks early for the best selection and price and to avoid having to pay for rush shipping fees!

One additional suggestion – according to an article from The Wall St. Journal by Anna Prior, the author suggests asking your professor if you can use an older edition of your textbook. Often an older edition can be purchased for just a few dollars online.
