Textbooks can be expensive, especially considering you’ll probably only need the textbook for one semester. Maybe having some alternative options besides buying them new or used would be nice to have. We’ve listed some websites below that you might want to check out. Some websites say they offer open access to textbooks while other websites say they offer textbook rentals.
We cannot guarantee that you will find the textbook that you need at any of these websites. We also cannot comment on their customer service or recommend one website over another, so you’ll have to do a bit of research into each one. That being said, here is a list of alternative options for those shopping for textbooks:

- Open Access Textbook sites
- Textbook Rental sites
