This semester is drawing to a close, and that means that we will soon see another semester — and another round of buying textbooks. How well I remember those days! The good news is that we now have a number of options beyond buying new (and likely being gouged) from the bookstore. Here are some great places you can find used textbooks and save money next semester:

Student boards and online book swaps: Many university student centers offer helpful boards where you can find students looking to sell books, or to swap them. Some campuses even have online book exchange web …read more

One of the items on my Christmas wish list for last year was an Amazon Kindle.

I continue to learn something new on a regular basis. My experience has been to grab a book on a topic and try to read through it as much as possible.
