Fifty-two years ago today, Harper Lee's only book (and masterpiece), "To Kill A Mockingbird," was published. An incredible story of growing up, societal stereotypes, racial tension and so much more, it was a book that gripped me from the beginning when I first read it at 15 years old. It also is a member of a short list of books I could not only read over and over again, but played an incredible role in shaping who I am today.
We as college students are very good at procrastination. If you are like me, and are stressing out because the year has started and you still don't have your books, don't panic. Research shows that textbooks for college students is an average of an extra $900/year. You're already paying thousands of dollars to go to school there, spending hundreds of dollars more just adds on so much more stress. Trust me, I've been there. I've done some research and found the best places to get your text books at a discounted cost, saving you much stress and more importantly, more money. More after the jump.
