Tuition prices continue to rise and college students and parents need to really stretch their budgets. One area where students can save money is with textbooks. I remember textbooks being a huge expense when I was in college and I’m sure they still are so I wish this company was around when I was in college!
Cengage Learning, which is one of the country’s second largest textbook publisher, recently launched CengageBrain.com. CengageBrain.com offers textbook rentals for up to 70 percent less than the suggested retail price. CengageBrain also offers e-textbooks, individual e-chapters, audio books and other homework and study tools.
CengageBrain.com makes the rental process simple and convenient for students. After renting a textbook, students will get immediate access to the first chapter of the book in e-book format. Once the rental term is complete, students can either choose to print a return label and ship the book back or purchase the book from CengageBrain.com.
It is not only for college students as there are books and study guides geared towards any age. CengageBrain.com is generously offering a Bargain Briana reader a $150 gift code for your next purchase or rental!
You can get 10% off $150+ order of Print Textbooks at Cengage Brain with coupon code AUGUST10 plus receive 5% cash back when you shop through Ebates. Expires 8/31/2010
