Books, books and more books!

So what do you do when you NEED a book?



Burrow, Buy or Steal???

College student - short on cash - saving my money for better things?
If you need textbooks for school, i recommend these sites. (That's if you haven't already checked the libraries around you which is kind of a long shot.)
Chegg - here you can rent the books for half the price or less. At the end of the semester you send it back. Tada! This is my first semester using this method. The books are in good condition and arrived within 3-4 days.
Textbooks.com - I've used here before. Sometimes I get a considerably lower price than most other sites, and they have a bigger collection. They take about a week, I can't recall fully...
Half.com - this place can be a real bargain too. Need a 50$ textbook? Buy it used for 9$. Love the cheap surprises here.

And for those literature classes....there's free ebooks! If you're lucky ^_~
Project Gutenberg - oh bless the founder of this site!!! You can get the books you need in different formats. I like to print the .txt versions at my school's print center. Also, if you're just reading for enjoyment there's audio versions too to keep your mind occupied while riding the subway and whatnot.
Readprint, Manybooks and Zinio are a few others I'm throwing in. Not as awesome and Gutenberg but worth a try.

Do not! I repeat - Do not buy your books at the school bookstore before checking out these sites. God knows how much money I've wasted T_T.

Good Luck and save your money!!!
