attn college students...Rep books?

[llsteve80]

Ok, so I'm not the only one in college here......any of you other guys found anyone in the far east who copies books? I know the QC would suck, but whatever they would charge would be way smaller than what we pay. 185 for a new book? in college....ZOMG!!!!!.....

They rip almost everything in china.....wheres the books?

have you had a look at ebooks for your need? Pirated ones of course.

I had a few semesters where I spent around $1200 for books.

I [censored] you not.

I had a situation once where the book for the course was unavailable - the bookshop never ordered enough copies of it, and by the time enough came in we were 2/3rds through the course. Plus it was a new book that year so no chance of buying a second hand one. And it was around a $320 book. I ended up spending 4 hours in the library photocopying the only copy they had in there at the time, still cost me $80 (was a big book) to copy, but at least I had the text.

Disclosure: I never infringed copyright....

Why bother with books - you can find really good rep degrees on CQout - the Ivy League schools run around $400 for degree with transcripts. Community colleges and state universities run any where from $30 to $250.

thats a good idea. bittorrent just doesn't work here. I think they must be blocking it somehow. I can try at home though.

You can download almost any popular textbook here:

Although that would be considered stealing, and I don't condone that.

(if you cannot DL at school, have someone do it for you where they are not fire-walled and send the file to you.)

Well... That really sucks. We have a heavily subsidised books here in South East Asia.

Let me know the title and lets see if I can find. The catch is... it's written on the book cover: Not For Sale in the US.

PS: Yes... the Chinese has cheap books too but mainly are written using Chinese.
