While it depends on the major, you're a bit dated. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 16/01/2010 01:55:06 AM
I have saved over 200 dollars in a single semester by buying from half.com and Amazon. I have always saved about 50%. None of my friends buy from the bookstore unless they simply can't find it elsewhere.
