when they tell you what books to buy...

otherwise, try the co-op bookshop website...wot is it, again?
search for the relevant courses, etc.

The website has a text list, but if you ask the one on your campus they'll have the lists for your subjects there as well. It's best to wait for your first lecture though, because you may not need ALL the books.

Err..actually, UNSW doesnt have a co op bookshop
its just the UNSW bookshop (which is cheaper than coop anyway)

www.bookshop.unsw.edu.au

goto text lists

and enter your course code, and it will come up with a list of prescribed and recommended texts

yep, i also heard that it might b a good idea to ask kids who've done your subjects last year, abt. which books they really ended up using...so u can save more money.

If you want to buy second hand, wait till first week and look at the notices on the Library side of Mathews, and the walkway up to the Commerce Courtyard from the Quad. Alot of second hand books are posted up for sale at the first few weeks.
