Thank God LG doesn't read this thread!Ok I just turned around in my chair and grabbed the first books I saw which were 2 paperback religion books. they are listed on Amazon as going for between $2-$6 . I know this has been talked about before but I really never considered buying books this way. My laziness is going to kill me. I feel like I need a life coach for every aspect of my life.
Your son is in college.... can't he find his own books???On top of everything else...DS started college today....and of course I try to take care of everything.
He does not have his books yet...fail on my part.
Can someone direct me in the right direction on where is the best place to get books?
At the school book store they are $$.
Is there a cheaper way?
TIA
swale --please right now--make HIM look up the info and then have HIM search for the books
I make my kids --even the high schoolers look up their own books and give me links--I am the one who purchases--although my college kids do buy some on their own
he needs to learn how to do it--not you

I was not trying to be rude.... in my experience, I was literally dropped off at college and had to fend for myself. It made me a better and stronger person!Why, Yes Lanyb...he could find his own books...but I did not have the chance to sit down with him to find the cheapest route. My entire house has been turned upside down within a matter of weeks.
I am sure next semester he will do better when I have a chance to sit down with him and give him the great advise I got in this thread.

see swale becuase YOU are so busy he should be taking care of that by himself
Exactly what I was going to post.
Emm is in her second year. Her school emails, book needs, etc..is all on her. AND HAS BEEN since her first semester. As a matter of a fact, she signed up her first FAFSA (on time) and did all that too.
Will Emm find the cheapest way to get books....just asking, not being ****y...because I know my kid could care less about how much things cost...he will go the easiest route.
Now that I have information, we can sit and talk about the best way for him to get his books...because like I said I never had the opportunity to go to college...so I have no clue about being a college student.
She is WAY more computer savvy than I ....and this is her education. And a darn good place to start with making THEM completely responsible for themselves (while still providing a net!)
This was his first day stepping foot into college/class.....neither one of us had any idea how things go....he was just told about the books needed on the 12th which did not give any time to order off of Amazon, now that we know that Amazon is a good place to get books...he did get the books from the school book store because he has to read a few chapters and has a test this Thursday.
just sayin'
A place to debate everything and anything!
