In a few weeks, it’ll be time to start thinking about buying textbooks for the fall semester. In the past three years, I have purchased all my textbooks (with one or two exceptions) on Amazon.com… all at incredible savings over the college bookstore!
I just learned about a new offer from Amazon.com that will make the textbook savings even sweeter.
Amazon Student gives college students (that includes YOU, my non-traditional friends!) one year of Amazon Prime service (a $79 value): special discounts and promotions, free two-day shipping, and more. All you need to do is provide Amazon with your college “.edu” email address and the name of your college.
As soon as my fall textbook list is available from the bookstore, I will go to Amazon and see how much money I’ll save this semester!

I ordered textbooks at Amazon too. It’s a great place to find new AND used books. Another is (of course) Ebay. When I was pressed for time, I got to the local used textbook store and was lucky to find some used but good copies I needed for my classes. Good luck this semester!
