Ask your bookstore about the process for ordering additional books in case one you need sells out. Usually this information is on the shelf tag or book list. Don't buy optional books until you attend the first class. To protect your opportunity to return unneeded textbooks, find out your store's refund policy before you buy. It is usually posted near the cash registers.
Packages can be a great value, but do some research before buying one.
If you decide you don't need a used book you've bought, please return it as soon as possible to give other students a chance to save money. Virtually all stores require receipts for refunds. Return materials you don't need as soon as possible so they can be resold to someone who needs them. You Will Keep Them Most stores will not give a full refund on a book purchased new that has been written in-even if you've only written your name. Before You Sell Your Books Acquiring your own library of textbooks can provide significant benefits as you continue your education.
