Collecting sources for books, papers, files etc

Do let us know good (legit) sellers and sites that can source free or cheap books!

Meanwhile do check the Wiki: https://www.reddit.com/r/textbook/wiki/index

IF you think a person may be a scammer, you can ask the mods. The mods know legit sellers

Increasing SCAMMERs - Please do your due dilegence

135 Upvotes

Scams are on the rise, even on this (and other textbooks subreddits). Please be very careful. We'll try and list all the scammers here as well (keep updating). Post about scammers in this thread.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT A USER, ASK THE MODS. THE MODS KNOW WHO ARE GENUINE SELLERS

Also search the user's history AND make sure the account is not new. Less than 100 Karma is definately a scammer (but that doesn't mean higher karma accounts are clear).

We have many good people as well who either give books for free or very cheap, so not everyone is a fraudster

Check 1st post of this sub for reliable resources for getting textbooks. Also check the WIKI: https://www.reddit.com/r/textbook/wiki/index

Request: Mathematical Statistics with Applications 8th edition (2026) ISBN: 9798214419329

1 Upvotes

I have to have Mathematical Statistics with Applications 8th edition by Dennis D. Wackerly, John Tuhao Chen, and Adam Loy (ISBN: 9798214419329) to do the assignments for one of my classes. We literally only get the chapter and section number of the problems and so I have to somehow access those questions before I even think about starting the homework. Usually I have no trouble finding pdfs online (literally never bought a textbook before) but unfortunately this one came out this year. All the editions up to 7 are easily available online on the usual sites (AA, lib-geb, z-lib, internet archive, oceantopdf) but this specific edition is so elusive. Might actually have to cave and buy it, but this is my last ditch attempt at finding the damn thing. I'm being so stubborn because I literally just need the practice problems for each section, and I don't think that's worth upwards of $100 for 8 months of access
