Whether you are going to MBO, HBO or university, you always need study books. You can often order your study books through the school, these are new and the delivery time is often (too) long. This article contains options for obtaining study books cheaper, so you can save a lot of money.
Study books
You need textbooks for every training. Often you hardly look in the textbooks, some books are useful and other books only serve as a reference book. Nevertheless, the school expects you to purchase the books on the book list. Ordering all these books new is very expensive, since you will hardly use some books, it is better to choose to purchase the textbooks second-hand.
Order study books through school
Often a school is associated with a bookstore. This bookstore therefore supplies the books to the students at school, the books are new and the delivery time is often long. You must order your study books at least a month in advance if you want to have the books at home on time. Since the textbooks are new, the price is also very expensive. The most expensive way to get your books is therefore often through the bookstore arranged by school.
Buy study books
You often have a school guide in which the people who attend your study program are listed with name and contact details. You can try to buy textbooks from people who are in the same education as you, only one year later. You can also buy books from people who have obtained their diploma, they will no longer need the books and would therefore like to sell the books. You can contact these people and ask them to sell the textbooks.
Study books via Bol.com
You can buy new and second-hand books on bol.com. Bol.com has a much shorter delivery time than most bookstores, so if you have to book at the last moment, it is best to arrange this via Bol.com. Under the heading used study books you can enter the ISBN numbers of the books you are looking for. You always have the right edition and the good book. Often there are different books that are offered second-hand, the price and the condition of the study book is also mentioned here. This often saves you a lot of time and money as the books are cheaper and delivered faster. On Bol.com you can also sell the textbooks again if you no longer need the textbooks, you determine the price of the textbook yourself.
Study books via Deslegte.com
De Slegte is a bookshop that sells and buys used books, so you can buy and sell books here. New textbooks are also offered on Deslegte.com. Just like with Bol.com you can re-enter the ISBN numbers so that you can be sure that you have the right book. Deslegte.com also saves you a lot of money on your study books.
In addition to Bol.com and Deslegte.com, there are numerous other websites that sell second-hand study books. If you type ‘second-hand study books’ on Google.nl, you will find many options. However, the two websites discussed in this article are the most reliable, which is why only these two websites have been discussed in this article.
