I have bought and sold this book many times. Price depends on format and time of year. For example new paperback 5th edition costs $20-$30 but can cost more at the start of the semester. Digital versions are around $15. I bought used 5th edition for $12 from Half Price Books last year, it had a few minor annotations in the margins.
I used CamelCamelCamel to set up price drops on the Amazon book and it typically goes down to $18 in the off season. And yes, this is one of those books you’ll want to keep for future self-study so even if you pay full price, it’s worth it. As for a used copy, avoid your campus bookstore as they price these types of textbooks way too high. Half Price Books is where I picked up a used copy for $12 a year or so ago.
I looked up a free online version of ‘Little Seagull Handbook with Exercises’ through academic sharing platforms like ZLibrary and LibGen, but be aware that these sites may not have completely legal copies. You could also check your local library’s e-book collection and see if they have it available to borrow for free, or ask your classmate if they have a copy that you could borrow. I found that some of the exercises had examples in user-generated content on sites like Wattpad or Medium. It’s not the best, but it worked for now.
Looking for a PDF copy of the ‘Seagull Book of Stories’ can be a bit of a journey. First of all, have you checked if your university has the online resources for students on their website? Most universities provide their students with tons of literary works in online databases, including a number of anthologies. If you are a student then go to your university’s website to see what they have available.
Local community libraries are also expanding to offer online services and book downloads. OverDrive and Libby are popular platforms that allow you to sign up for access to a wide variety of eBooks, often to download and read locally. There are often unofficial or even pirated versions of academic PDFs lurking about on the internet but these have their own set of problems and by supporting the authors and publishers of work that you love you are helping to ensure the continued health of the literary world. Enjoy the hunt for your chosen version of the book.
