If you’re really desperate, try to borrow a book from a classmate who does have one – or at least ask for the chance to copy down questions that are part of your homework (especially for math!).

Definitely try to get your books ASAP. Amazon often offers one or two-day shipping. If the book costs too much with this shipping, you may want to just buy a used copy at your college bookstore = ( if you can’t get away with a friend or classmate’s book.

On the bright side, most classes don’t meet EVERY day, so if you have a Monday class, you should have until Wednesday to get your book.

Hope this helps!

BTW, what do you mean by Amazon and Barnes not helping?

Side note, one guy I know got through most if not all of the semester without his math book. I’m not saying his grades were even halfway good, but I think he got by with sharing with a classmate. The professor was definitely one of the nicest ones though!

I would also suggest using your campus bookstore. A lot of the books will be the same price at both places, and you might be able to still get a few used books on campus. Plus, they will usually have enough books in stock for all their students.

Good luck!

If there was a problem that the college bookstore had screwed up, then I would obviously be understanding and somehow adjust my plan or copy the chapters students need myself. But otherwise I would expect you have them sooner rather than later.

Good luck

If your campus bookstore doesn’t have them, the professor needs to be made aware ASAP!
