hi maycat.

yeah I checked the link you gave me. I was wondering how much it will costs if I buy it brand new coz if theres only a little difference in prize between that coop link and at the macq shop, then i might as well get the ones at the macq store.

But yeah, still checking and deciding. Im pretty sure we wont be expected to have our textbooks on the first class anyways.

...what? the macquarie shop is the coop store, the prices of your books on the site are the prices at the macquarie bookstore.

EDIT: you can get them like, $3 cheaper if you become a member, but that costs $10.

i suggest you don't buy your textbooks until you have attended the first lectures, because some subjects don't use the textbook at all, and the lecture notes are sufficient

the textbooks have most of the content and are more detailed though.

If your set on buying them all, maybe buy them the first week, cuz then if you find out that you really don't need them you can exchange them for store credit within 10 days.

yeah maybe...

how much did all your textbooks for first sem cost you maycat?

my friend apparently paid $500+ for their textbooks

 

[whatashotbyseve]

$500 is about right. It depends on course obviously - more for law, less for humanities. Mine are about $500 from memory. But marketing books are always expensive.

 

[-may-cat-]

Well, mine would have cost just over $400, cept i couldnt afford that so i found ways around it

I got my mums union to send me this $100 coop book voucher, they were just giving them away. And i got the rest of my books sent over from the UK where they are half the price, coop/australian bookstores are a fucking rip off, seriously.
