When I went to college, I was dirt poor! I had to take student loans and had to stretch that money every way I could. One way I did that was by buying used text books. It saved me a fortune! But there were always some books I couldn't find used in our one and only used book store at the University of Miami. (That was in the 80's)
Now, thanks to the power of the internet, you can access the national market on used textbooks!
Here's a coupon link to get up to 90% off on used textbooks at Amazon.
You can also get 20% off on new textbooks!
Sarah, a reader wrote to let me know about another brand new resource for saving money on textbooks. www.ichapters.com is a textbook site that sells books electronically and also sells individual chapters. I had many classes that only required reading certain chapters of a book. Wish this was available then! Not only is it less expensive, but it's a lot lighter to carry around a printed chapter or an ebook than the textbook itself!
Now that's a Neat Idea!!!
It pays to be organized when it comes to buying school supplies. You can find information on buying text books and school backpacks for your back to school needs at www.SocialStudiesHelp.com.

I am a college student and also working as an intern this summer at an eMarketing company called ECNext. One of the sites we are working with is http://www.ichapters.com, a textbook site that sells books electronically and also sells individual chapters. This site is a great resource and I think it is something you may want to look at and consider in a future post. If you have specific questions, you can always e-mail me at SDeak@ECNext.com. Thanks so much!
