Default College books..........where do you buy?

I was curious as to where most of you college students buy your text books.

Do you buy from the college book store? Or do you get the isbn and order online to save $$? Or have some other method?

We normally go with the isbn and order on Amazon for my son.

Amazon for me as well. Way WAY cheaper then the collage bookstore. Plus, I've had classes where we barely cracked opened the text book during the semester. At least this way I know I didn't pay full price for nothing.

I've had to use the college book store before for certain books can we say OVERPRICED???
But mostly I use Amazon. Or borrow from friends! Found one on freecycle one time, so after I was done with it I cycled it again

I can't speak for your bookstore Dekka, but the difference between our bookstore and Amazon is about 1/2 the price

Seriously, the last text was 198.00 at the bookstore and 97.50 at amazon.........plus free shipping and no taxes, LOL

Amazon is 10-40 dollars cheaper. But some of the classes require multiple books and the bookstore will do up packages for a little cheaper. And there is the issue of texts that amazon doesn't have.
