[nabs-l] book costs

[Ashley Bramlett]

Humberto,
College texts are expensive. Its hard to give a cost estimate. I'd say a 
book will cost $60 or more.
I had books cost anything from $65 to $125. I'm serious. The more expensive 
books were generally the hardback books with 300 plus pages in them.

But if its english books, they are sometimes small paperbooks and those are 
like $30 or $40.
It just depends. Some english books are actually novels. To save money, buy 
used books from the bookstore or past students who no longer need the book. 
Students will sell their books individually; to find out, have someone look 
at flyers with you. Generally paperback books
are less expensive. Another option to get cheaper books may be to buy from 
Amozon or an actual book store. Bookstores are going out of business though. 
There may be a Barnes and Noble in your area or local book store to check. I 
saved money by buying used books when possible.

You might be able to use financial aid or scholarships to help with books.

Hello nabs listers,

does anybody know the approximate cost of a college textbook? I am taking
math and English this quarter and I am afraid that I am going to spend too
much on books. My family is low income so we can't really afford too much,
and, my state division of services for the blind (DSB) can not help me pay
books. Any other funding sources I may obtain please are appreciated.

cheers,
Humberto
