people in college.[views:1721][posts:15]____________________________________ [Sep 4,2006 5:49pm - xanonymousx ""] do you know any good sites to look for books or even download an e-book? i need to get a book and cds for my music class i'm taking.... its $58 for the book and $50 for the cds! there is three of them. CRAWFORD, INTRO.TO AMERICA'S MUSIC the only reason i'm doing this is so i can get into audio production... that is a lot of money for a cd |

Check out half.com and ebay, local craigslist, or post a wanted ad on there. I doubt you'll be able to find an "e-book" version of your textbook. Might also wanna try making a quick flyer and putting it up on a few bulletin boards in the main Berklee building on Mass Ave. |

| ____________________________________ [Sep 4,2006 6:21pm - xanonymousx ""] hmm 58 isn't that expensive it was the cds for 50....... i spent 90 on a used book... this book was just annouced by the teacher and classes start wendesday so i got to pick it up the total will be around $350-400 this semester. |

| ____________________________________________ [Sep 4,2006 8:24pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] alibris.com has some good deals; not sure if they'd have what you want though |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 4,2006 8:24pm - xanonymousxx ""] thank you mark |
| ____________________________________________ [Sep 4,2006 8:25pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] no problem. i've gotten about 6 books on there at half price |
| ______________________________ [Sep 4,2006 8:44pm - eddie ""] is it a common practice to not give a book list til the first day of school? because this is bullshit! i'm probably gonna have to pay full price for books because of this. |

You'll be lucky to get it 10 days INTO school. Some professors really don't have their shit together. I didn't even bother to look for my books until like 4 days ago. $240.00! Not one used book. Bastards. |
