Multiple options are provided to make the textbook more affordable. Although the textbook is not required, it is highly recommended. If you prefer to learn through reading a textbook, don't let your finances keep you from getting one. WAYS TO ACCESS TEXTBOOK:

  • Purchase from CCSF bookstore
  • Purchase from online publisher or any other online book vendor (new or used) (Amazon.com)
  • Access copies on reserve in library
  • Request a copy through the CCSF Book Loan
  • Borrow a loaner textbook from instructor (random authors -- not class textbook) available for first few weeks of semester until you can acquire a more permanent solution (get them early).
  • Use an earlier edition available online for just a few dollars.

If using a different edition or different author, it is your responsibility to identify and read the relevant chapters within each text. (Instructor can help -- just reach out.) Reading ahead each week to prepare for class is an important part of the weekly learning.
