Best way to find text book solution manuals?

[cHeeZeFacTory]

is there any way to find solution manuals for college text books if you have the isbn? i typed in the isbn on google, but only the publisher website comes up...any help from experienced college students would be great!

I always just use the bookstore websites of the bookstores on campus. They always carry the solution manuals.

search on amazon, they have most of the books available

If you mean the "teachers" solution manual, then students are not allowed to order them.

We had a Chemical Engineering student expelled from my university for ordering solutions manuals for statics, dynamics, and some other courses. You know how she got caught? The place she ordered the books from called the dean and made an inquiry...

yea i am talking about professor or ta solution manuals, which can't really be found of amazon or bn.com......i wonder how did the book store find out where did the student go to school at?

If the textbook is an edition that's a few years old, you can hunt down a teacher's solution manual through used online book stores. Even ebay/half.com will have them but not too often. If it's a new edition, then there wont be much hope in finding a guide.

A friend of mine teaches at a local university and the same thing happened to one of his students. They failed him for the class that he ordered the solution manual from, and expelled him. They told the kid that even if he is readmitted in the future (it's likely that they'd let him back in in a year or so), his transcript will always have a notation about what happened!

Professors don't like competition!

Some of the solution manuals of those popular/classic math/science books I've seen were written and published overseas, usually India, Taiwan or Singapore. Check with your foreign buddies.
