While at www.textbooks.com I found the following information:  Although the initial cost of the book wasn’t very competitive ($91) the guarantee buyback price ($53) actually gave me a net price of $38, I guess you can look at it as a “rebate check”   :  )  Here is the info:

Guaranteed Buyback
Guaranteed Buyback is yet another way Textbooks.com saves you cash. Here’s how it works.
1. Look for books labeled “Guaranteed Buyback” (or the icon, )
2. Look for the Guaranteed Buyback price.
3. Return your book in good condition at the end of the semester, and we’ll give you that amount of cash back… guaranteed!

Buy used or buy new. Either way, you get the same amount of cash back. Get at least 50% of the purchase price guaranteed!

Books purchased between June 1 and November 30 must be received back at our warehouse by December 31 of the same year. Books purchased between December 1 and May 31 must be received back at our warehouse by the following June 30.

To sell back Guaranteed Buyback books back, simply log in to “My Account.” We’ll provide you with a shipping label to send us the good condition book back free of charge. You can also sell back other good condition books and see if your books qualify for our 10% Bonus Buyback program.

Save money by going to a local Library and using one of their PCs for free; printed pages cost about 10 cents per page — not bad considering at home you have to buy paper and ink cartridges.  You can even order books from the library at the comfort of your own home and set a time to pick it up.

Libraries are a great way to save money on books and movies. By loaning these from your library you are able to save costs involved with either buying these books or movies, or renting them. If you are looking for a classic book that may be in the public domain then you could also consider looking online and downloading them for free at http://www.gutenberg.org.  This website has over 25,000 books, including audio books absolutely free.  There are also free books available at http://books.google.com. Google scans the full text for you to read.

In addition, the library offers free courses, i.e. computer courses, lectures, social events and discussion groups.  Also, do you know some libraries and museums give out free passes to museum? If you are thinking of traveling, visit your destinations’ Chambers of Commerce for information and they sometimes even offer coupons and discounts to local events.
