    10 cents a copy, 800 pages. $80 is a good 20-40 less than my books used at the bookstore.

      no one will buy your 800 pages of unbound photocopies gypsy.

      now give me your tears.


      purchase price - salvage value = usage cost. photocopies are more expensive.

      just amazon them.

        Stand in front of the copier for 2 hours copying books. That's a good way to get your ass kicked on the first day of college.

                  Forget condoms! College kids are from nice middle class families, are clean and do not have herpes, HIV, or Hep C.

                    haha man i just finished my first year of college and i skipped SPAREINGLY! BUT the books dont come in handy if you can make friends with someone who has a book ALSo learning from books is less helpfull than if you and a friend just sit down for 30 minutes a day and talk about every class you have in comming (more than 4 hopefully) this way u get ur teachers side, you have your opinion , ur friends opinion and the book for back up.

                    this dosent work in math, but what does work is...learn formulas. ..FAST!

                    english- is prolly the easiest language on earth. unles you live in new york(example :a rap song by ODB, old dirty bastard), or in the deep south. Example (the waterboy :the movie)

                    try tipsy study,, its like jupsy study but with a T

                      You guys are really disappointing me.

                      My advice:

                      Get as much waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles and drink as much beer as humanly possible.


                      Don't fail out of school, or get lots of D's and F's.


                      That about covers it. All you need to know in 2 sentences.



                      Oh, and if you want to be serious for a second, don't drink and drive- I'm serious about this.



                      Ohhh, and I advise you to learn how to spell advice correctly if you ever plan to be taken seriously when you try to give it to others..... ;)

                      WOLFPACK IN THE HOUSE!!

                      now that thats out of the way, i dont buy books unless i absolutely need them to do homework or something, thats what friends are for, i dont often pay alot of attention in classes and i dont really take alot of notes. college is fuckin easy guys, my only tip to you is dont be stupid, be really smart and get good grades, its alot better that way.

                        I bought a book with weed leaves drawn all over it once. It was for a world civilization class, and every page had at least one weed leaf drawn on it somewhere. I wonder what grade that kid got...

                        ...Probably the same grade i got, cause all i ever did back then was rock the ganja.

                          Haha, that's great.

                          Another ... Toward the end of college though, If it's a major where you'll need to look shit up during your job such as mine in engineering, you might want to hold on to the books which you think are important.
