cheap textbook
Makdaddy asked:


I need to find a textbook and I have been looking in all the bookstores around here and they are out. Classes start Monday and I am resigned to not having the book, but I would like it as soon as possible.

    If you search for the ISBN number, it shows the prices of most of the sites already mentioned plus it will also show eBay prices so you can see who is selling the book for the best deal. John V

    You can check out this online book rental service: to widen your search net. It rents out textbooks and has a wide selection of books on fiction, biographies, cookbooks, self-help, and art books. I think you can rent textbooks for around $10. Good luck on that book hunt! Merle
