Title: If you've purchased a textbook this year, this question is for you Post by: bio_man on Jan 29, 2017 We're currently working on our study tips (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=study) section. A topic came up about textbooks, so we're curious how students of 2017 purchase their textbooks.
Interestingly, the average student spends nearly $900 each year on textbooks... Title: Re: If you've purchased a textbook this year, this question is for you Post by: srethej on Feb 8, 2017 Hi,
Every student is spending so much money on text books.One thing I noticed is when you buy a new text book for some $x,then after the semester you will lose its value by more than 50% like wise even if you rent still you are losing even if you buy used book still you are losing money. If you buy e-text still you are losing If you want to sell it in amazon still you are losing. where do we get value for money is the biggest question after spending money on tution and accomodation.

If you benefit from it, I believe it's worth the dough. But to believe that a textbook will appreciate in value, that'll never happen. I think the best method would be to buy a used textbook.
