Where can I purchase or rent textbooks?
VitalSource and Amazon are two popular sources to start your search for textbooks; however, more options are available online.
We have found Better World Books to be a great resource, and books purchased through this site help the environment and raise funds for libraries and literacy!
ThriftBooks is another source for textbooks – just be sure you check the edition before purchasing.
Textbooks purchased for your courses are often used by students beyond completion of the course as reference guides for coding practice or certification exam preparation. eBooks are another great option as they provide instant access to ensure that you always have a resource ready on the first day of each class.
