Using the search tool, you should be able to find the textbooks required for your classes.

& Then if you're looking to buy the books, you can visit the Bookstore (Titles) - located in the basement of MUSC - The Student Centre. You can buy New First Year textbooks there. & If you're looking to buy old, used books - you can look them up here on the facebook page:

& see what ppl r selling.
Note: When buying used books - be sure to check what edition of the textbook you need & what edition is being sold.

After finding the list of required books, be sure to check out Amazon as well. I ordered my entire semester's worth of books from Amazon and it cost me $100 less in total than it would at Titles
