New to the board, looking for School books

[giuse]

Hi all,

I'm new to the board here.
School books are getting expensive and would like to know of any sites that have a good selection of textbooks, especially for my major, computer science.

Thank you all for the information!

[Cabalo]

give a look at this thread and the reviews, there are plenty with such materials there.

Thank you for the fast responses. Unfortunately anon-sbi, I do not have permission to view that link.

edit: It must have been the 2 post limit, cause now I can view it :)

That's strange, since even guests can see it. But it doesn't matter now :happy:

[giuse]

Maybe it was a fluke. Does anyone know how to obtain a bitme invite?

[anon]

Does anyone know how to obtain a bitme invite?

Know someone that has an invite, or make a request once you gain access to the Invites area (takes 15 days since registration). Asking outside of a thread of your own in the Requests section will get you warned.

In the meantime you can try experimenting with DDL.

@sez

I do hope you get paid!

[giuse]

I'm yet to find my book. It must be too new. If anybody can find "ADTs,Data Structures and Problem Solving with C++" by larry nyhoff please let me know.

Thank You!

Thanks for the find, but it's not the right book. Can't find it anywhere

[Morpheus]

It's best if you provided the ISBN number. That'll let us know the exact book you want, edition, author, etc. Obviously, every single book hasn't been put into a PDF file so the interwebs may not actually have it but the ISBN is still the best course of action.
