As you all have experienced first-hand, textbooks are starting to get expensive. I'm sure many of you have already encountered your first (or unfortunately your second, third, etc.) $120 textbook. Luckily, there are quite a few resources out there to help you get around this problem.

I recently came across an article by Jamie Littlefield on About.com that provides a list of possible places to acquire your textbooks for a lower cost or perhaps even for free. I encourage you to at least check out some of the sites that are listed to see if any of these will fit your needs.

Of course, here's a disclaimer: I'm providing these resources in good faith as an opportunity to help you. Neither UW-Platteville nor I are endorsing these sites. Please use the resources listed in the linked article at your own risk. We assume no liability.
