llsteve80 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 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?

Shundi Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I had a few semesters where I spent around $1200 for books. I [censored] you not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaedo Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llsteve80 Posted September 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 have you had a look at ebooks for your need? Pirated ones of course. thats a good idea. bittorrent just doesn't work here. I think they must be blocking it somehow. I can try at home though.

jot9011 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 You can download almost any popular textbook here: hxxp://forum.textbooktorrents.com/index.php?action=register 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.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
