If you're looking for second-hand textbooks, check out second-hand book stores and library book sales (I've found brand new textbooks for as little as fifty cents at these sales). You can ask former students and teachers if they're getting rid of their old books.
If you need a bit of extra cash for books, you could also find out if the college bookstore buys back old books.
I retired from teaching, and now write stories for youngsters. As a teacher, I used to go to the school depository where all old books were processed and I can assure you that many books get destroyed that are new as well. Most of these book were overstock or old, but still worthy of use. I home schooled my children and found the school an excellent source. Some schools require that a teacher request the books from the depository, but that usually is not a problem, you can always find a teacher. Libraries, and even book sellers, such as the one in the picture have book barrels or tables for overstock books which is another way to get free or cheap books. My library is stocked with free books. As an author, I keep many books for my friends and neighbors to borrow. Dr Robert E McGinnis
