Buying Cheap Resources for your College Courses.



With the act of making community college free in some areas of this country. Many of us are now being faced with the fact that college material doesn't provide all the information that we need to understand a particular topic better. Some of us (especially those who had to actually study at some point in our lives without the internet) rather do our researching through books and if your an online student like me sometimes the glare of the computer can get to you.

If your a (Post-Internet Learner) or You simply love books then Www.AbeBooks.com is for you! of course this is just to help some people out so here is my experience with Abe Books.

First, My mom being obsessed with cookbooks put me on to this method of shopping for books intelligently. She would spent hours at a time borrowing through this site where you could buy books at a cheaper price. Most of her recently brought cookbooks where 5 dollars and under. This didn't really interest me much until I started college and realized that I could get resources such as " Guide to Writing Sociology Papers" and "The Pursuit of Happiness" for under 5 dollars.

Abebooks.com isn't just for academic material the also have a large collections for every genre you could think of and unlike most sites you can definitely find something you want to read or always wanted to buy but didn't see your self parting away from $20.00 just for a day or two of reading.

Recently, I was cause in a delimma my online course material cost 
$92.00 and they recommended that I had purchased the hard copy that material for $82.00. I just simply couldn't see myself spending $200.00 (including taxes) for the online and hardcopy of the same exact material. With my knowledge of this site I copied the isbn # and found the same exact book on Www.AbeBooks.com for $3.45 but it was sold out so I looked at other site that offer affordable book deals like www.thriftbooks.com  and even Amazon have deals too it all in the matter of shopping around and shopping smart. Yes most of the material are second handed but when it come to college material who cares as long as its the same information and its in a good condition?

I really hope this helped my fellow college heads/ readers out there!

Love You Guys!xoxoxo!
