NEW YORK (AP) - Like many college students, Andrew Favreau finds shopping for textbooks to be a challenge.
"Most people don't think about it, but the cost of textbooks is huge," said Favreau, 26, who is studying part-time for a master's in business administration at DePaul University in Chicago.
While most families factor rising costs for tuition and room and board into their college budgets, they often overlook the increasingly hefty bill for books. The College Board, which tracks college pricing trends, estimates that students spend about $940 a year on books and supplies.
