Buying online is the way to go.

I saved about 250 this semester from doing just that.

Unfortunately, even though it cost you $200 new, it is not worth $200.  Thats the fucked up part about it.  I saw a textbook I used a while back at the book store for $120 USED!  Its worth about $40, since thats what you can get for it online.

Fortunately for me it takes us like three semester to get through a book, so I rarely have to buy one.  Also, they make india/international editions of most of my required books which are super cheap.

I had to buy two this semester, one for $50 and the other is $60 but I got $30 off for signing up for a credit card. (buy.com)

if you were a good small-time criminal you would just steal your textbooks, and maybe a few extra and sell them to other students at a cheap price and buy good opiates with the money to get fucked up on

"If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution - then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise." - Aldous Huxley

What book?

I've had to spend about £150 on books, although most of them are used throughout my whole course (particularly atkins p. chem).
