Every College student is trying to save a buck and here are a few sites that
intend to give you just what you want with the convenience of online
service. No more waiting in line, praying that your book is still in
stock, and paying outrageous prices. Some sites also let you sell back
your books at the end of the semester--so keep your eyes peeled for special
promotions!!

| 1. |
eCampus - In terms of
the best prices, quick turnaround on orders, an enormous selection, and a
wonderful delivery rate--eCampus is the best place to shop for your
textbooks. Additionally, you can sell your textbooks back at the end of
the semester and the site offers other items other than boring
textbooks!! Delivery is free for ground orders or a flat fee of $5.95 for 2-3 day
delivery!!

Textbooks - The folks at Texbooks.com
guarantee that your textbooks will be there in 3 days ($4.95 flat fee) or else
they will refund your delivery. They have a great selection, competitive
prices, and if your teacher has joined with the Textbooks team your syllabus
and needed books is already on the site! |

Bigwords - With big
name sponsors like MTV, Bigwords can afford to build a beautiful site, which
is precisely what they have done. Prices are decent and delivery is free
with every purchase! They also have a program for your professors and
tons of other cool stuff you'll need to get ready each semester.

Other Notable Stores

Varsity Books - Another well
designed site that is extremely easy to browse. We found their prices to
be a little more than some of the other sites, but they offer a flat fee of
$4.95 for 2-3 day delivery and lots of contests to win money--just what every
college kid needs!

eFollet - Unlike the
other sites, eFollet charges $3.95 plus an additional $0.95 for every book
that is shipped. The savings aren't bad and they guarantee 50% back for
your used textbooks that sport their exclusive 50% back sticker. |
