kzseattle Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I am looking for a text book typically taught for computer science courses. I have already checked Barnes and Nobles but they dont carry it and I dont think Borders would have it either.Where in Houston can I go to look for this book? There must be a bookstore near Rice University. If so, where is it located?Since its kinda urgent, I cant order it from Amazon.Thanks for the help!

UrbaNerd Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Try Half Price, in Rice Village. They might have some old/used textbooks (and maybe the one you need).Also, they have a large computer books section (I think)I hope this helps!

ricco67 Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 there is also a college book store (I think) on Fannin just south of the Med Center and north of OST. Ricco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that all of these stores arent too far apart so I will check them out. Your help is much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1fd Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Try a search on campusi.com They search a ton of online booksellers.BTW, I hate Half Price Books....they don't have any sort of online inventory system, so if you're looking for a particular book its a FU, dig for yourself type of thing.

kzseattle Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 Try microcenter. Tons of computer books. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow! Nice map I checked bookstop, Borders and half-price bookstore yesterday. Unfortunately, while they all have computer books, none of carries text books. So I ended up ordering it from Amazon and paying (sigh) for 1-day delivery. About bookstop, converting an old theatre to a bookstore was a nifty idea! It looks cool.

KinkaidAlum Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 For textbooks, try The College Store at 3503 Elgin across from the University of Houston Softball Stadium.www.thecollegestore.com/rho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
