Books

Students should order their books online as soon as possible. Some of the books are out of print, but Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com each have a handful of copies in their used book section. Some are also available as ebooks for Microsoft Reader or Adobe Acrobat for very low prices. You will want to order all of your books from one outlet (if possible) and at one time, because consolidating your order reduces shipping costs.
