"This past summer I took 4 summer courses, meaning 4+ textbooks to buy and 100s of dollars spent. Instead of buying new or used editions of the most current editions, I bought the previous editions of the required texts on this site at next to nothing. I did this for the second two classes and made an A in each. I saved myself about $250 in the process. The book came exactly as described with minimal markings. I plan to use this site for my last two semesters as well."
