Why not connect with older students who may know people in the classes you intend to take. Purchase used books directly from students. You save them a trip and the wait in line. You get a decent book for the right price. Unless your steling the photcopying, you do have some expense in your stealing scheme. So, spend the money in an honest way. It’s illegal and unethical.

I also did this in college however with some of my books (not all). Many of my friends did this as well. While it is illegal -- it's also horrible to run up ridiculous prices on books to $200+ for books that they are created for the sole purpose of being college textbooks, fully knowing that these students will only use these books for roughly less than 6 months.

I call that money management and keep up the good work. Look at it this way, its better than tearing out the pages you need or wasting that money on a book that probably won't be used next semester. Good Luck with school. Tosha W No it is not illegal to buy a textbook and then make copies. I call that money management and keep up the good work.

I think you know the answer. It is not legal. The books are copyrighted. So, think outside the box. Try to see if the book is on line or use the library at college. Some schools have a copy policy. Ask. Combine in the purchase with other students. Find a student that had the class the year before, but who wants to keep the book in his/her ongoing library. Ask to borrow or even rent it on a per day basis. Your question is whether it is legal. I think you know the answer. It is not legal. The books are copyrighted. So, think outside the box.
