I dont think you would have much luck... but I would try amazon.com and see if you can find a used copy for real cheap.. it was a really good book. The cheapest used I saw was for 7 bucks

Buying books online is the best. I buy nearly all my books online. A method that has worked for me is to buy the books I need to read right away for the first two weeks of class at the U bookstore (or find out if the book is in the library and go there to do the necessary reading) and then buy all the rest on Amazon.com. Buying used books from Amazon's independent "marketplace" sellers is usually significantly cheaper than buying the books in any store (shipping for any one book from a seller is $3.99; often you'll find mass-market paperbacks, some in excellent condition, selling for just a penny, so some of these you can get for as cheap as $4). And if you decide to buy your books new from Amazon (which is still always cheaper than buying them new from the store), shipping is free with purchases of more than $25.\n\nA website called BookHQ (www.bookhq.com) will actually compare for you the prices of books from virtually all the used-book search engines on the Internet. It's super-great.

In grade school, most books are paid for by the school system in which you attended school. In college, teachers don't get paid by the government, so they don't get money for these books. I know if I were a college professor, I'd hate to pay for books for all of my students (many textbooks are upwards of $100)! And thus, the responsiblity falls upon you (or your checkbook, as the case may be). \n\nBut there is still hope! Many college bookstores will sell used copies of college textbooks for a great deal less money. If you can put up with somebody's dog-ears and margin notes, I'd try that avenue.

Half.com is where I get all of my textbooks. As a matter of fact I bought this same book from half.com.  Check the feedback of the person you buy it from though.  I have never had a problem and the prices are great.

Many places depending on where you live. Try half.com, where you can list the books and when someone wants to buy your book then they will contact you. Also, try your college. The college I go to does a book buy back if they will be using the same book next semester. Also, there is a store near by where I live called McKay's books and c.d.'s. They don't give much for your books but you may have something similar near where you live that may give more. And lastly, if you know that the books will be used next semester try selling them to other students. Post an ad in your schools newspaper or on a bulletin board around campus.

Nothing!!! You can really get all the information you need online. We were required to buy this book for class in college and I never once opened it. Unless theyr equire you to bring it to class or something, I wouldn't bother getting it. Just type whatever you need to know into Google and websites will come up that will help you with all that stuff!!

No, you would have to get the lists from the professors who assign the books.  However, now that there are dozens of good on-line sites, the likelihood that you could be profitable with such a bookstore is small.

I seriously doubt that you're going to get a used one for cheaper than $50 (textbooks are expensive and that one's under $100 full price new). Unless you can find somebody at your school who's already taken the class and has a book to sell cheap. Amazon has it for $58 used. You can also buy the previous version, which is a lot cheaper and won't be that much different because it's that much older. It's at the URL below. But if you use a previous version, you may need to do some tweaking with reading assignments, etc because the pages may not be exactly the same. Keep that in mind. You could always ask the instructor if it's ok.
