Save $2000 On Your College Education

“Already strained student and family budgets are beginning to feel pressure from another source—the high cost of college textbooks. Prices have climbed to the point that a growing number of students are choosing not to buy them. According to the College Board, students spent an average of $853 on textbooks and supplies in the 2004–2005 academic year at public four-year institutions, an increase of almost $200 over the past five years.” American Association of State Colleges and Universities
Assuming that the price rise has continued at least the same rate, 2010-2011 academic year college students will face an annual textbook bill of over $1000.
National Textbook Rentals saves college students up to 75% on textbook prices, easily saving the average student over $2000 over the course of a four-year education. What’s more, NBR offers free shipping both ways and over 3 million textbooks in stock.
Imagine…no more standing in line at the bookstore to buy books. No more getting stuck with a textbook that’s changed editions. No more standing in line at the bookstore to sell books. And, when you graduate, $2000 more in your pocket.
Congratulations. Your college education has made you smarter!

Textbook Rentals

Textbook rentals are starting to catch on - the high cost of textbooks coupled with students' preference for a real book over digital have driven rental demand over the last year.

That demand has highlighted a few issues:

1) Shipping speed. It may shock you to learn that many college students don't plan ahead and buy their books well before they need them.

2) Selection. Popular textbooks have gone out of stock quickly at some textbook rental sites.

3) Terms. Some colleges offer 30 day classes, while textbook rental sites offer only four month or longer terms.

Several textbook rental sites have addressed all of these difficulties. the best I've found is National Book Rentals at http://nationalbookrentals.com. Bigger selection, more shipping options (at a reasonable price), and shorter rental terms (at a lower price).

Problem solved.
