If it’s your first child going off to college, don’t forget to bring a box of tissues for the drive home.

Nicole, I learned my lesson the same way you did. I too bought numerous books for too much. Not any more!!
You could also try http://bigwords.com They are a textbook search engine that searches all the online retailers to find you the best place to buy your books. It's pretty cool.
