If you go to college or you know anyone that does, you?d better keep reading. Another college semester is nearly upon us and the thought of buying hundreds of dollars of textbooks might be a little overwhelming. Fortunately, there is one piece of insider information that could save you hundreds on your books.
My husband recently went back to school to continue his education. He has to buy all of his books online and there usually is not much chance that he can ever buy used copies of his textbooks. Last year, he stumbled upon a helpful little website called TextbooksRus.com. Not only does this website sell books for a lot less than you would normally buy them for, but they sell International Edition textbooks.
What is an international edition?
The website explains that textbook companies print textbooks not only for buyers in the United States, but for those in other parts of the world as well. These international editions are often identical to their American counterparts in content. The only differences might be that the cover looks different and the book is a paperback instead of a hardback book. Because people in other parts of the world won’t pay the high prices on books that Americans pay, these books are generally much, much less than those sold in the United States. Textbooks R Us also reassures buyers that they will only sell international edition textbooks with identical content to their American counterparts.
My husband has bought new copies of these international editions for his last two college courses and has been extremely pleased with the money he has saved. Recently, he bought the international edition of the book Advanced Accounting from Textbooks R Us for $56.67. In addition, he got $10.00 off with a promotion. Compare that to Amazon?s price of $120.00 for a new copy, or about $85.00 for a used one. And, if he had bought this at a bookstore, he would have spent around $150.00!!
