How to Buy Books

When you start new semester, when you want to read some books or in any other situation you need to buy some books, how did you get books? I will introduce other ways to buy books.

First, we have a bookstore in our campus. It is located on the first floor in the student union building. They sells books for major class, also books for liberal arts class. Maybe you can find all you need in university. They sells at the fixed price. It is the closest bookstore, but for business school student it could be annoying to get there. Because it is far from business building, we have to walk up the hill.
