I stopped buying textbooks jr year. I wasted too much money on expensive books that got no use. If later in the semester I really needed it I\'d either AIM a classmate to death or go to Half.com.
Besides, It\'s the 21st century, we should have the damn things in electronic form now. Carrying around a laptop full of "books" is much more sensible than hauling around a backpack with 5 600-page, forest-destroying, papercut-inducing, man-eating, fire-breathing, cookie-baking gonorrhea monsters.
