Luckily, there were 3 books available and the class only had about 120 students so my book never got recalled. However, I would not advise relying on the reserves because of the hassle and the uncertainty that comes with it. If there is only one textbook available and another student puts a hold on your book, you will be out of a textbook (possibly during midterms). I ended up paying $4 because I forgot to renew the book the day before finals. --["Users/DussonYeung"]
