My parents gave my brother money to buy his textbooks for college, but instead of buying brand new textbooks at our college bookstore, he went to a store that offers text book rentals. The books there were not bad at all, at first I thought that the books would be totally worn out and torn apart, with tape holding the pages together, but that was not the case, the books were only slightly used, with a few folds here and there. It was almost like new.
My brother tried to return the extra cash from his book allowance to our parents, but our parents were really impressed by the efforts he did to try and save, and decided to give him the extra cash. My brother showed me that it was a good idea to rent a textbook. It saves a lot of money; since the prices at text book rentals are less than half the prices of new books, and more importantly it provides the same result in class.
