Around how many books would I need for the B Business/B Laws combined degree and how much should I expect to pay for it all?
Any approximate guidew would be appreciated:)

Anyone think my dads 25 yr old co-op card would still be accepted?:p

your dad's should be accepted - my mum's is and her's is ancient too - it'[s al ife membership,

but why not get your own? it's only $25 or so and its a lifetime discount.

Law textbooks, well, a lot of units you have 2 - one with the cases etc, one with commentary. Some have just one. Some like law foundation have a couple + a reader. Lots have readers with additional information.

So Law textbooks per unit will range from say, $100-$220 ish.

That's for the "text" ones. Often you'll want to get recommended ones too, but don't buy them until you have your first class because often the teacher says they're pretty useless; otehrwise wait a few weeks to see if you'll actually use it.

Business ones - business textbooks are usualy $60-100. If its a custom publication usually $60-80. If its a reader, $28-$40 ish.

Usually they're on teh cheaper side though (business ones at least).

But after all that's said - go to the co-op site and check it out - prices and texts you'll need are there :) and then if you don't like paying that much, check out textbookexchange.com.au or lawbooks.com.au - the first is 2nd hand, the 2nd is new but both are lots cheaper.

depends who you talk to - the lady i spoke to on the phone from coop at parra yday was realely nice :)

technically, they don't have the official "lists" in yet, but if you look on the website - they're usually a guide to go by if you wanna konw about price.

Wait until the official lists are out or you have your unit outlines first to make sure you don't buy stuff you don't need, but as a guide as to price the online lists are fine

lol why are you worried about whether you need to buy a "law book" or not?...

It only matters if you pick it as an elective, because its not a core accounting unit, and even if you do, it's just a textbook... :p

Coop says the ISBN for "Principles of Contract Law" is 9780455221106, but Lawbooks.com.au says the same edition is 0455221103. :confused: :confused:

There are 2 types of codes... i discovered this when i had the same problem with one of mine..

there's the ISBNs and the APNs...

a lot of the coop ones are actually APNs - just google them and you'll get the ISBN...

but apart from that, if the title, author, publisher, publication year and edition number are the same - go by that
