BOOKS AND READINGS

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SAVING MONEY, BEFORE YOU GO TO THE BOOKSTORE AND BUY: You might want to check out some on-line sources for buying books. Next to the books recommended for this course you will find prices for AMAZON.COM, as of 7/99.

AMAZON.COM is a proven, reliable source for book purchases. Remember: you will have to pay extra for shipping, and you need a credit card and an email address to place an order.

VARSITYBOOKS.COM is a new outfit run by some young entrepreneurs. I have NO information about their reliability. I don't know how fast they ship. I don't know if they have everything in stock they say they do.

NOTE: I, of course, recommend Temple University Bookstore as your most reliable and reputable textbook source. I neither endorse nor recommend AMAZON.COM or VARSITYBOOKS.COM. I do, however, want my students to save money wherever possible
