Pleasantly Surprised, and Relieved!
I was a little nervous buying my textbook - $14 for an otherwise $120 textbook written in 2019 - but after seeing the reviews here I decided to try it out. Much to my relief, it worked perfectly! I paid with PayPal and then immediately was able to download the PDF to my computer. The photos of each page are easy to read and navigate through!
Easy and legitimate way to get cheap textbooks
Ordered a textbook that normally costs $150 in its print version for $15 usd as an ebook.
After paying with PayPal, I received the download link to a PDF file of the 1400 page textbook.
No problems with the download and the quality of the file looks good.
Nothing beats a failure but a try, IT WORKS!
I, too, like many, was skeptical of purchasing my textbook with this site. I read the reviews, and they seemed, legit although some stated it is a scam. I decided it was a small price to pay since my textbook was approx—$ 400. I used my debit card that I use only for small online purchases. I received the link within 2-5 minutes as I nervously waited. When the email arrived, some of the links did not work right away, I tried each link again, and IT WORKED! I was able to download the book all 2000 plus pages and uploaded it to my Google Suites and my iBook on my Mac. Thank you College StudentsTextbook team.
Great deals on textbooks if you don't mind using an ebook!
I'm ordering textbooks for the winter semester of my MSW program and found one of the books I needed on here for only $11. I don't mind using ebooks or PDFs of my textbooks, so after looking up reviews (as others mentioned, the website looks sketchy!), I decided to go for it. I received my email immediately with the links to the textbook. The first link (Google Drive version) actually didn't work when I tried to open it, so for a moment I was worried I'd gotten scammed. Luckily there was a second link for a Dropbox copy and I was able to download the PDF using that link. I now have the textbook on my computer and saved a ton of money!

Very Legit
When I first checked the site I thought it was a scam. I said the prices were too good to be true. I took the risk because I urgently needed it for my classes. The book was originally around $250+ dollars on sites like Amazon, eBay, and etc... Here, the eBook only cost $13! It was an incredible deal and they were able to send me the download link in less than 2 days of purchase. It would've been immediate if their cloud system was working well. If you see the error after purchasing then email them and it will be resolved. I recommend this site to anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to buying books.
It’s legit
It’s legit. I paid $4 for a $70 textbook and was given an immediate PDF download. All the 806 pages are there and not blurry!! So thrilled.
Worked exactly as it said it would
Worked exactly as it said it would. I used paypal and got it within the minute. It's the full correct 460 page textbook and I got it for $10USD versus other sites offering it for over $100 for new copies. I was honestly worried but the decent amount of positive reviews here and on their website compelled me to give it a shot and I'm so glad I did.
Upon closer inspection there are certainly issues. There are a lot of sections that are blurry, squished, and/or slightly cut off. Quality isn't awesome, but it's readable and for such a cheap price I'm willing to compromise a bit.

Easy to buy from UK
University Accounting textbook
Just bought a £50 E-textbook for $9 using a MasterCard with great exchange rate, so only £6.9.
Great feeling keeping that £43 in my pocket.
Straight after checkout the PDF was there...going to tell people on my course

Amazing site!
I had been waiting more than 2 months for one my textbooks from my school bookstore. Midterms were coming up and I desperately needed the textbook and was prepared to do anything to get it. I found this site and placed my trust in it, I got the e-textbook immediately and was able to pass my midterms thanks to website providing the text. My school was selling the book for around $80.00 for the e-text, the site I was on, it was $13.00! I saved a ton of money and succeeded with my tests!

I was skeptical at first
I was skeptical at first, but I saved $30 on my textbook! I even put in a request for a textbook that I am having trouble finding, we'll see what happens!
Don't judge the book by its cover
At first, I was skeptical about this site legitimacy but in the end I took the risk and tried it out. Truth be told, I got my book.
Immediately, I received an email from them after completing my payment. In the email, there are 2 links (compressed and uncompressed pdf file) and your receipt. I clicked the uncompressed link and it transferred me to google drive. From then on it was an easy download. And don't worry if google drive say it can't scan the file because it is too big. So from my experience, I would say this site is 100% legit and safe.
If you see reviewers saying the seller was just faking the reviews or paying people to make a fake review, then I would say it B.S. and they just don't know what they are talking about
If you don't trust my review or think I am the seller who is faking a review, then you could always just make another/temporary email account with fake name and address, and use PayPal as your payment method because PayPal do offer refunds if you got scammed.
Fun fact: Accidentally, I found a 10% coupon code from one of the seller respond, which did worked and it was "cst10p". I do highly suggest using it if you want to save even more money from the books that is already dirt cheap compared to other site. :)
Surprisingly not a scam
So with these types of bare bones websites, you really have to look at it hard. Like all of the reviewers, I thought that it might be a scam and my money would be taken by the Chinese or something. To my pleasant surprise, it was not and I received my ebook. Saved $50 so I think it was a good deal. Always look at the reviews and do your due diligence when buying from these types of websites.
The quality of products and the best…
The quality of products and the best prices and the great customer service. Books that I have been bought are at really cheap price as compare to other sites in my opinion.
Save some money!
I would have paid $55 for my English book but I only paid $7. I was scared to purchase because I thought this was a a scam and I thought the reviews was fake lol. But it's is 100% real. You pay and you get to download the book right after.
This is NOT a scam. Its real
I was in shock when I found this website. All the other sites were more than $100.00, I even tried a used book store which was only $20.00 less than a brand new book. I checked the reviews and was surprised that the reviews was good, I thought if I lost the money it wouldn't be a lot, so I closed my eyes and did it!!!.
The minute the money went thru the book was created, I laughed and cried at the same time!!
I continued to think it was a scam and waited for my visa bill, and am still surprised and pleased to know that this is for real!!
Thank you so very much for this site. I only wish I had known about it before.
This is the real thing for those in doubt, it works.

DAMN This is the best site ever for college students!
DAMN This is the best site ever for college students!
Okay, I know people are skeptical, but I just literally got my Anthropology textbook for 8 dollars. I really regret not getting my physiology textbook last quarter from this site. It cost me 80 dollars.
That was my bad experiences with big corps stealing our money. I am so glad that there are websites like College Student Textbooks that actually have some ethics.
I would recommend it to anyone who is on a budget for books.

Still shook
I'm so confused loll, I was checking the price of a Statistics textbook and saw the entire book for under $20!! Obviously I had to search for the company because I was genuinely concerned that it was too good to be true. I read the reviews, decided to give it a go and I got my PDF as soon as I paid through PayPal. The entire 500 page thing. Unbelievably reliable. I'm still in shock.
Great for eBooks!!!!
I am a pre-nursing student who is retaking courses, I have had to rent the same A&P book multiple times from Chegg and Amazon and it has been $60+ to rent every time. I just paid $14 (used the 10% code the site owner listed below) for the same book, AND it let me download the PDF so I'm assuming I won't need to purchase again! This sight is trustworthy and if you're thinking of using it to save money, go for it. I know every review says this but I was skeptical too, glad I went ahead with it! Saved me so much money this semester. The eBook was available for download right when my purchase was confirmed!
