- Barnes & Noble’s used books are priced quite high ($90, if I remember correctly), and many of them are marked up with so much highlighting and handwriting, it’s liable to drive you crazy.
- Barnes & Noble’s price for new books ($120, I think) is better, but they didn’t order any to have in stock. That’s annoying for many students who would prefer a new book.
- Dakota Textbook (near University Ave. & 42nd) was selling used books for a bargain price ($68.50, I believe), but they are now out of stock. I talked to their manager, and they are going to try to get more used books in at that price. They told me they are also going to try to order some new books and match B&N’s listed price of $120.
- Your best bet may be Amazon.com or some other online retailer. YOU WON’T NEED YOUR CASEBOOK UNTIL, AT THE EARLIEST, YOUR PREP FOR THE SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 CLASS. That means you have plenty of time to order online and get your books delivered. When I checked, Amazon was selling new books for $101.17 with free shipping. Used books were priced at $60.00 and up.
