So the new semester is here, and long story short, I make $9 an hour and I don't want to spend $500 of my hard-earned money on a few college textbooks. Unfortunately I am having a hard time locating the textbooks that I need. Google searches have either lead me to a website with 0 results, or I am being asked to sign up to the website and give my credit card information before I can download the material. I'm not sure what to do, and need some advice.

Hmm, it's asking me to sign up and pay $2 - which I wouldn't care about, but I'm not sure I want to give a torrent website my credit card info...at any rate, thanks for the effort.

I do alright with amazon used, myself, and barring that e versions are cheap and readable on the cloud reader.

For comp sci books, I join the local ACM and clubs at my school to use libraries in officer rooms, that includes all editions of current textbooks. Good reason to run for office and/or tutor.
