Print Public Domain Text Books Cheaply

I have to think that some of the richest people on the planet are own bookstores that sell University text books.

There is one thing that is a thorn in my side–you go into the book store and pay lots of dough for a used text book that has been highlighted, chewed and is almost falling apart, and then after the quarter is finished you go back to said bookstore and re-sell your text books getting only pennies on the dollar for a book that is basically the same shape they were sold to you. Argh!

That’s how they get ya!

Thankfully web savvy students may have found a way to put some cash back in their wallets by getting some of their text books from The Public Domain Books Reprints Service , which is an unofficial go-between for free copyright sites like Google Books’ public works and Project Gutenberg, and also for inexpensive self-publishing services like Lulu.com.

This is not free guys, but it sure is a heck of a lot cheaper than the University bookstore!
