Thanks, but that site doesn't offer the book I need.
Luckily, most of the courses I've taken so far have included all the study materials needed so this hasn't been an issue for me in the past. It looks like there are a number of online resources available to help price shop for new, used, and rental textbooks. Of the price comparison sites that I've found, the most popular appear to be studentrate.com, bigwords.com, and slugbooks.com. Amazon's physical book rental prices seem pretty affordable as well in comparison to those listed on the comparison sites.
It looks like I can rent a new or used copy of the current edition US version textbook for around $25-$35 for the semester, which seems like a pretty good deal. I'd think the ebooks would be cheaper but most are much more expensive, running in the $125-$175 range for a 90-day rental. Unless I can find someone who has a copy they want to get rid of cheap, I'll probably just rent a physical textbook.
Now if I can just get a copy of the syllabus so I can start planning ahead for the work that I'll need to do on the capstone.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
