Just saw today when ordering some books for school that there is an Amazon Student option you can sign up for. Only catch is it probably only applies to NEW books, which I usually do not purchase if I can avoid it.
The membership lasts for a year so make sure you note that. Also it does say you can save on other things outside of textbooks so if you order often from amazon.com often, chances are it might be worth it for you. All you need is a dot-edu (.edu) email account, check it out here
I wish I knew this information a little sooner, so I am sharing it with my young friends or studious amigos.
Also, I know I always talk about Halfprice books, but seriously, check it out already! If you can get over the idea of "used items" and instead consider them "awesome, delightful, sweet-bum, dirt cheap gems" you will love the place just as much as I do.
When I go there it's always a game for me--I try to bring a list of books I need and make a game out of how many I can find. Yesterday I found 3 out of 4 school books. I was pretty happy.
I ended up purchasing the 3 books for class and then 2 just for fun books, so 5 books total. I had a $5 off coupon so my total came to $12 for all the books! If I would have purchased just the 3 books for class new it would have been over $60 plus shipping online.
Crazy, good stuff :)
Which reminds me...I love books in an unhealthy way...
I may need help.
