Of Textbooks

Okay, so, I had ordered all of my textbooks via Amazon.com because the price difference was so much that, even with the price of shipping included, books are incredibly cheaper online than in the bookstore. For instance, I need a Macroeconomics book that would cost $125 in the book store but I found it on Amazon for $62.50, with expedited shipping only making the grand total online $69.69. That’s a savings of $55.31. Unfortunately, I didn’t even know I needed said book until today because the professor had apparently been lazy and hadn’t notified the bookstore that that class required a book until at least a week or so ago. I am leaving for KSU on January 15th, and since I paid extra for the expedited shipping, I’m really hoping it will get here before then. I’ve sent an email to the Amazon seller about my circumstances and I really hope they will get the book out as soon as possible. I do not want to have to pay $125 for a book so that I have it for classes on top of the $69.69 I just paid for it online… Today is January 9th, and expedited shipping is supposed to take a maximum of 6 days, so as long as the seller reads my email and takes my pleas into account, I should hope it will arrive on time. Hopefully.
