Special Discount on Textbook Rentals

Oscar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:25:28 +0000

Hi there!

As visitors of the JFS Blog you now have access to a great deal on textbooks.

Have you heard of Chegg.com? It’s this site where you rent textbooks instead of buy them. And you save a ton of cash – between 65% and 85%.

It’s easy. Just go to Chegg.com, search for the books you need and place your order. Chegg ships them to you super fast, and when your term ends you just ship them back for free. And for every book that’s rented, they plant a tree.

Make sure you use this promo code especially for our website CC102940 and get an extra 5% off your order.
