Textbooks for CHEAP!

Last night, fellow Aggie, Kelli Christensen, told me about a website that lets students RENT textbooks for low prices. I checked it out today and found that I can buy my textbook on Amazon for only nine more dollars. Out of respect for my dead checkbook, I'm posting all the great sites, I currently know of, that sell cheap textbooks:

www.amazon.com
www.abebooks.com
www.cheaptextbooks.com
http://usedmarketplace.borders.com
www.cheapesttextbooks.com **this offers a comparison chart from different sellers

and to rent:
www.chegg.com

many publishers also offer an online version of their books for a small fee.
*if you are in a math class...I strongly recommend you don't even buy a book. Just use the mymathlab that your instructor uses - it has a multimedia textbook included.

Good luck and be thrifty!

Merry Christmas!!

Well, fellow Aggies, it's time to admit that Christmas is barely a week away, now. I'm still in the midst of a pile of unaddressed Christmas cards...you? It's sad because, somehow, in the chaos of our last move I've misplaced my address book. No problem, I thought, I must have it all on my outlook. Nope, sorry! those are just old business contacts. Well, surely, I thought, it all must be on the old palm desktop from my ancient palm zire. Nope, sorry! those are just doctors and dentists and contacts from Nevada and New York. OOOOOKAAAAAAYYYYYYY. So, I spent the last two days, in between band concerts and choir concerts, searching through several boxes labeled "office" in our storage unit. Nope, sorry! I did come across several favorite things that required lots of reminiscence and lolly-gagging. So, as a last resort, I'm googling everyone I can remember and hoping their addresses are public knowledge...(not sure I can completely trust that, though, it still shows me living at my old house). Oh, well, Merry Christmas!
