Well, we are about to start a new semester, and guess what? The economy still sucks! And new students are still scampering to secure loans and other financial aid for college. What amazes me is that reletivly few students realize that the best [easiest] method to save money in college is by buying cheap textbooks. Textbooks are a substantial part of every students budget, often eating 10% of the money that the student will pay for tuition, and what's more, this money usually comes out of pocket (b/c most students do not have loan money to spare) and so the cost of textbooks is felt much more by the student. The best thing that a student can do to find discount textbooks is to use a price comparison site. These sites compare prices at multiple online and offline bookstores and tell you where the cheapest prices for the book is. The best price comparison site that I've seen is www.wecomparebooks.com. This site is fair and unbiased and always shows you the best prices on every book!

I'm about to start college and will need to buy some textbooks. There can add up to a few hundred dollars but it could be a cheaper bill buying used textbooks. Thanks for the website. I'll look it up when I know what books to buy.
