Question:
I went by the booklist I printed off last spring for buying the books online for one of the classes I will have next semester and as it turns out they changed the book. My mom bought the books for that class for me and I don't have the slightest clue as of how to explain this to her. This makes me angry enough to want to strangle someone but I know that it isn't worth getting too angry over a two stupid books. And they probably cost maybe $10 tops with shipping. And plus I'm not sure who exactly I'd want to strangle anyway. But still, I'm in college and wish to purchase only the books that I will be using, not the old editions. This is the craziest school I have ever been to in my life. And I don't know who to complain to either.
Answer:
I'll give you a couple clues regarding college books. These are lessons from my daughter.
Do not buy until the last week. Each Instructor can change at the last minute. Sometimes you can buy the correct used ones off Internet school book sites for about half price.
On the really expensive books. DO NOT OPEN THEM UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THAT
YOU HAVE THE CORRECT BOOK.
.
Then you have the chance to return them for the correct book should there be a last minute change.
Keep all bags, and receipts together.
