As we all know, buying textbooks is a complete waste of time and money because for most classes the textbooks are rarely, if ever, opened. In addition to that, the line-ups at the beginning of the year are sometimes HOURS long and the people working there are even slower.
So, how can you avoid the line-ups and stop spending hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on books?
It's simple.
Just ask.
No, not me. No, not the school either.
Go to the publishers website and find your book. It should be fairly simple to find, provided that you know the author and the edition of the book. Once you locate it, you'll typically have two distinct headings to choose from as to where you can go next.
Click on "Request a review copy" under the 'Faculty' heading.
*Note: Different publishers have different headings/text, but they are all similar and you should be able to figure it out. If not, you probably shouldn't be where you are today.*
On the next page, you'll just need to fill out the information.
The best part about this section is that you don't even have to lie. Fill in everything correctly, as if you were ordering food online. In the address box, put YOUR address, not your schools. Under 'Department' put your faculty in there. If you're business, say business. In the 'Office Hours' box, put your school schedule.
It's VERY straight forward.
Click on Submit and wait for your FREE textbooks.

There are some publishers that allow for on-line review copies. These copies are customizable, so if you don't need Chapter 12, you can edit that out. These will be e-mailed to you within a few days and will be in a PDF format.
If you share this book with others, DO NOT give them the same link that the publisher gave you. Download your copy and send it via e-mail OR upload your copy to a different site and give them that address.

That's it. It's that simple.
You're very welcome.

People have asked if I have received free textbooks using this method and that answer is YES. For the last year of school, I did not spend a single cent on books. You shouldn't either!
