As with most accounting majors I know, I have chosen to keep all my textbooks for my upper level accounting courses but am now considering selling my cost accounting book which I can get $110+ for on Amazon. The reason I'm considering it is that while I want to keep my tax, intermediate, auditing, and advanced books for reference purposes, I question the use of the cost accounting given my career goals do not include non PA work. I have heard that some people use their textbooks for CPA study however, and BEC is next for me after AUD so should I keep it for that? I am using the Gleim series and find it to be fairly comprehensive for AUD so think my bases are covered. Any advice? Don't want to regret selling it but no reason to keep a book around for no reason that I could get paid for either...

If you can, it's better to avoid your textbooks altogether and just study from CPA materials, especially if there's a danger of the information being outdated. However, sometimes you may find that something you're studying is explained more clearly in the textbook. If you do not anticipate running into this problem then selling your textbooks should not affect your ability to pass the CPA.

I would suggest using the CPA review course you have invested in. I can't imagine having to study from any of my textbooks, a review course is the only way to go.
