Tips on Finding a Textbook Sale
Whether you are a college student or an
avid reader, looking in the right spot to buy can result in finding your
next textbook on sale at the best prices.
Here are a few tips that go beyond thumbing through the sale bins and
isles at your local bookstores, to help in your search:
- Membership Clubs - those that offer .99 deals
bring immediate savings although be sure to check the shipping and
handling fees
that sometimes exceed cost savings. Know the future purchase obligations
-- how many additional books must you buy and what are the normal
prices of these books -- not just the deals being promoted upfont
at the introductory rate. Because remember, here is where they make
their money. Then there is return policies along with who pays for
shipping there.
Doubleday and Oprah are both popuolar book clubs.
- Non paid for Retail Book Clubs.
Borders Reward Club offers no fee to sign up for this and they send
you coupons
on future
purchases that
amount to 30% off the retail price.
- Paid for Book Clubs such as that of Books-A-Million.com.
With their Millionaires Club card you pay $20 which gives you 10%
off all book purchases
and an additional 10% off in-store sale items.
Barnes and Noble also offers a $25 annual card that entitles members
to 20% off hardcovers and 10% paperbacks. Even if the textbook is
on sale
you get 10% beyond this amount.
- If you are a student in search of a text book, several online book
dealers like ecampus.com offers pricing incentives, sale titles under
their clearance section and free shipping with minimum purchases.
- Half Price Books features some new books bought at cut rates that
have sale markdowns. Normally found at the isle end displays.
- Yard sales are a prime opportunity for finding books on sale
but supplies and titles are limited. Great for those by former
students.
