This is the CS/CIS booklist for the fall semester, 2008. Do not order a book if you run into an edition or ISBN conflict. The easiest way to find a book is to search on the ISBN. You should get much better than list price if you search the Internet and order online. If you do not mind paying list price, you can also purchase books through the college's online bookstore at http://www.bcc.bkstr.com/ (sometimes at a hefty markup over list).
Most of the ISBN links, below, will send you to CampusI where you can do a quick price comparison with several vendors. If you decide to buy online, Amazon and Barnes and Noble are always safe.
