TEXTBOOK EXCHANGE

I have created a Google doc where you can go to post your book for sale to other students, and to look for a student with a book to sell or trade. Please follow these rules
1) Go HERE to find the site
2) Post your book on the appropriate sheet. There is one for unloading Macro, one for Micro.
3) List your name, phone and/or email, and whether you want to sell it, trade it for the book for the other class, or will be happy with either one.
4) When you have disposed of your book, to back and take your name off the list.
5) I will leave this up until several weeks into next semester and make new students aware of it at the beginning of next semester.

BEWARE: This page will be publicly accessible, and any contact info you put on there will be available to whoever views the page.

I will delete everything about 2 weeks into next semester.
