Just wondering if I could get a better deal on textbooks online. I have ask a bookstore in an Oklahoma Community College bookstore and they said they couldn't give me that information. I've been told there is a law against not giving that info, if they were asked. Thanks in advance.

No, there's no law that requires them to do so.
Get the title, author, edition or ISBN off the book in the bookstore.
Use that to search Amazon and Half.com for the same book.
You should save on books using just those two sources at the rate of half or more. I generally pay 25% of new cost for my textbooks.

That doesn't sound like it should be a law. Anyways, it will be more hassle than it's worth to make a legal issue out of it. The best things to do are either to just copy the ISBNs off the books on the shelf, or ask the professor what the ISBN is. Professors are usually happy to help you save money on books.
