Buying - Textbooks

Buying textbooks on Half.com is quick, easy, and fun! Here are a few helpful tips that will help you buy the right book at a great price.

• Your professor will often choose a particular edition or year of a textbook to teach for class. To make sure the book you are buying on half.com is the same one your professor requires, compare the ISBN (a number on the back or first page of every textbook) of your book with the ISBN on half.com. If the ISBNs match, you can be assured you have ordered the correct book.
  

• Be on the look out for old editions! Old editions of a textbook are offered on half.com at a substantial discount. When you find the textbook you are looking for, click "see other editions" to find out if there are older versions offered at better prices. Just make sure your professor doesn't have a problem with purchasing a different edition than the one required from the course--an older edition may have different exercises or may be missing chapters. If you are in doubt, purchase the correct edition and you'll still save a lot of money!
  

• If you need your book in a hurry, be sure to choose "Expedited Mail" as the method of shipment. The default method, media mail, can take as much as 14 days for delivery.
