It took a few years for me to get privvy to the "just because they say you have to have it doesn't mean you have to have it." I would go to class a few times and see how badly you needed the book. For instance, last semester I took a psych 100 class and didn't buy the book, and I passed the class with an A. It really depends on the teacher- what they want, do you have class discussions on the actual reading or does it just "suppliment" the course. The only book I bought and really used was my spanish book.

Textbooks suck.
