Books & School Options

[sixfive]

Do you sell your books back? Do you keep the ones for your major as reference material? Do you sell back to the campus book store / amazon / craigslist / other method?

Traditionally I've gone to the book store (I'm lazy) and taken the highest offers. Sometimes they'll offer like $10 for a $150 book and I tend to keep those because I'd just feel guilty for giving up something like that at a fraction of the price. Still probably will never read it again :(

I don't generally try to keep any textbooks. I try to sell my books back to other students, but sometimes I get lazy and they kind of sit to rot. I've a couple of custom edition textbooks that have been completely changed over the year so I don't even bother trying to sell it.

Oh actually, the one book that I'm planning to keep for the long-term is my astronomy textbook. I give it credit for starting my massive obsession with astronomy that will likely continue for the rest of my life.

I used this book for my astronomy class too. I loved that class!
