Ridiculously Obscure Textbooks

[Cronos]

Okay, if freaking Amazon.com(nor Barnes and Noble, nor half.com, nor anything else on google) doesn't even have a textbook I need for graduate school, where the heck am I supposed to get it?

Anyone got a spare copy of "A Rohrschach Workbook for the Comprehensive System", 5th Edition lying around that they can sell me for less than $110 freaking dollars from 1, and only 1 amazon marketplace seller? The Rohrschach inkblot test is next to dead anyway. I don't even really feel like buying it, but I know I'm going to need it for my Personality Assessment class.

Help me GRB. You're my only hope.

Sorry Cronos, no luck on eBay either. I hate textbook-buying time; good luck with the search.

Yikes. This is why I was glad SLU had one of the best Theological Libraries. Free.

http://www.lowleadbooks.com/servlet/Detail?no=4102 only $99.99!
http://www.alibris.com/booksearch.detai ... rt=&page=1 Not sure which edition, in terrible (but usable) shape

Maybe try going halfsies with another student whom you trust?

Textbooks are overrated. Do what I do and only use a textbook in the class if you happen to readily have 1 available. And if not, make friends with somebody that has the book so that you can get homework questions from it to do your assignments.

I'm going to check out the school library and see if they have a copy and see if it's such that my roommate and I(who are in the same class) can split the cost of it and make copies, but I don't think that's the case; I think we all have to have a copy of the workbook.

Nice find JC! If nothing else, I can save a few bucks on it. Thanks.

If you search on Amazon.com, does it cover other countries like Amazon.co.uk? I'm going to do a search on there right now.

edit: nope, no such luck there.

Nice find Joce! Cheaper than the one in terrible shape that I found, and new.

I figured that first one was too good to be true; I have to be a member of a professional psychological organization (like the APA) and I'm not, since I'm not certified yet.

I'm going to give the second one a call tomorrow; they don't have a set up for ordering online.


Thanks anyway, Joc.

I just placed almost $300 worth of ordering textbooks. All of the books I ordered, though, are at least going to be useful not just in grad school but further on in my career, so I feel I made out well.

This is what I get for wanting to be a psychologist, I suppose.
