About buying books for study

I discovered that buying new books leaves a big hole in your pocket. But if you have loads of cash / deep pockets, who can stop you, eh? For the less fortunate, there are other options like beg, borrow or steal (ok, don't steal!) as below:-

• Borrow from seniors or those who have completed the course
• Buy a used book from a senior who is selling them
• Buy a used book from Amazon or other online sites
• Rent a text book from some peer textbook lending sites
• Buy a used book from a used book store
• Book a new book at discounted prices - an example is the Discount Textbooks

Discount textbooks is a book store at the intersection of Victoria St & Dundas St (south west corner), at 258 Victoria St., lower level. They also buy & sell used text books. For used books, they offer you 33% cash upfront if the book is in good condition and is listed to be on the course for the term or 50% credit to buy in their store.
