I was an incoming freshman at the nearest university, and when our college professors gave us textbooks that we will be using for the semester, I went to the university bookstore as soon as possible to get a pricelist on the textbooks that I needed. After getting the pricelist, I was shocked at how expensive the textbooks were, the total of the textbooks I needed where almost a hundred dollars.
I was having second thoughts on buying new textbooks, however, the textbooks at the library were hard to come by since most of the time they were out. It was good thing that I happen to come across stores offering textbook rentals. I decided to visit one of the stores and was surprised to see how huge the difference are in terms of price, and the condition of textbooks were still superb, with an exemption of a few folds. It was right then and there that I decided to rent college textbooks, they were cheaper, with prices less than half of new textbooks. Why buy new textbooks that you will only use once and then pack away? Wherein if you rent textbook, you will have the book you need and you won’t worry about packing them away.
