My daughter is taking her first AP class in high school this year, and they need to buy The Unfinished Nation by Alan Brinkley. Where is the best place to check for a good price on textbooks? Do regular, used bookstores ever carry textbooks? I know there's always ebay. What about half.com -- I've never used them before.

half.com is where I bought all of my textbooks. It is a great place to sell them back too!! You can't beat the prices anywhere.

Often eBay, but here is a link for a google/froogle search:

Have the courage to be yourself.

DH is getting his MBA 17 yrs after getting his BA. He buys all his textbooks at

AbeBooks: New & Used Books, Textbooks, Out of Print and Rare Books.

You need to know ISBN # of the textbook you need to make sure you get the correct revision. These are international versions (exact same book but printed out of the USA) and are softcover. Shipping cost is high but you save so much on your books that it is still much, much cheaper to buy from them. Sometimes they ship from overseas so you need to give yourself plenty of shipping time. DH typically saves $50-$80 per textbook by buying from them.

Good luck!

We found quite a few of my nieces through amazon - most of them were at least 50% cheaper than through school.
