Don't buy the textbooks until the second or third class. I have had several classes where the information discussed in the book is discussed in the class via lecture or powerpoint: anything beyond that I research on my own at a library or via ebooks. The textbook only has relevance if assignments are taken from the book or you cannot possibly understand the class without the text.

I was double pwned by the $5 book.

I didn't realize that they only gave me $5 for it.. they just gave me my combined $79.

I later found out from someone else, who hadn't sold theirs back, that i only got $5.

I certainly would have kept the faulker for only $5.
