Easier to buy in advance of the semester online and save a bunch. Unless it is a brand new textbook you can almost always get a good deal on the current edition or a smoking awesome deal on a previous edition. I tried the buy and return before a midterm and final once, since my daughter had put my text I had originally bought into the recycling bin and they gave me a very hard time at the UofC bookstore.
