Textbooks

When you're paying for college, every dollar counts. And at StraighterLine, our goal is to reduce your costs. All of our courses use college textbooks that are available in the used market—and, whenever possible, we offer convenient e-textbook options, too. As long as you get the correct edition, it’s up to you to decide whether to purchase a used book, an e-textbook from us or another provider, or a brand-new book in print.

Love a good bargain? StraighterLine's exclusive college textbook search was designed to help you find the best prices on the Web. Simply enter an ISBN or textbook title, and we'll search over 30 different sites—from textbook rentals to e-book sellers to Amazon—to help you find the best deals on the books you need. It's just one more way StraighterLine is saving you time and money.

Note: Not sure which textbook you need? It’s generally listed on individual course pages, but you can also view the full list here. College textbooks required for each course can also be found in the course syllabus that's posted in each online classroom. If you search by ISBN and it doesn’t return any results, try searching again after removing all dashes from the ISBN number.
