Text List
You may purchase your textbooks from any vendor of your choice (new or used). If you want to support local bookstores, consider purchasing your books at Bookbug or Kazoo Books in Kalamazoo. You may also purchase your books at the WMU Campus Bookstore or through an online vendor such as Amazon or Powell's. Wherever you purchase your books, be sure to allow sufficient time for them to arrive; even the campus bookstore may run out of the books for our class, so do not wait until the day we discuss the book to purchase it!If you are concerned with price, I suggest you purchase your books (in traditional paper format) used from an Amazon seller (this is usually the cheapest route), but feel free to use any vendor. Please see this text list with projected costs: CLICK HERE.
You may purchase your books in traditional paper or e-book format, but you will need to show me that you have your book (whether e-book or traditional book) each day we discuss it in class. If you choose to purchase e-books, you must use a full color e-reader or your computer to view the books. However, I suggest you purchase traditional paper books, because it is easier to use a paper book in class during group work and to find passages during essay exams. I will NOT make accommodations for you if your e-reader malfunctions during an exam or in class.
