I Love Barnes and Noble

By Useless Dicta

I have 2 regular law classes next semester and 2 trial practice classes. For my regular law classes the textbooks totaled to about $260.00 at the Useless University Bookstore. Thanks to the $25/year Barnes and Noble membership that I purchased in August I bought both textbooks PLUS a study guide for each of those classes and the total came to $210 :) The B&N membership is definitely worth it, in addition to the member pricing I also get coupons for an extra 25% off once in a while (and I had one of those golden little coupons this time).

Too bad I still have to buy books from NITA for my trial classes, I wish I could escape with all of my books for under $300 but it's looking like I'm still going to end up spending over $400. GRRRRRRR I hate buying books for school, especially since I usually fall behind on my reading and inevitably just stop reading all together come the middle of the semester.

In other news, Amazon marketplace is a great place to resell law books. I sold my Evidence casebook for $60.00 after the Useless University Bookstore offered me a grand total of $4 for the book during buy back.
