Does anyone know of a place to by used textbooks other than half.com or amazon.

Have you googled used bookstores in your area? I got a couple of mine at a local used bookstore...also craigslist as well.

alibris.com is worth a try.

abebooks.com links to a lot of used booksellers. betterworld.com is my favorite that I've found through there - not always the lowest prices, but usually cheap, and free shipping which is a huge plus with something as heavy as textbooks. And they are supposedly socially responsible. My only problem with them is that the shipping can be slow - don't wait until the last minute to order! But I expect it's no worse than most online booksellers shipping via media mail.

(I hope I'm not making a mistake advertising them before buying my own books! )

Also try your local craigslist. A lot of people in your area might be selling the textbooks for the same college as you're attending. www.craigslist.com

eBay is one of my favorite places to get used textbooks. I saved $100 on my Chemistry books there! Do a search on eBay to see if your book is up for bid or sale. If you need the book quickly, ask your seller how much it would cost to ship Priority Mail. Media Mail can be maddeningly slow!

Thanks for all your replies. There was another thread going and someone gave the tip to go to bigwords.com . I did and got all my books from various places for a total price of $213.50. I saved right around $240.... Thank you all

are the books BRAND NEW? I got 2 textbooks from the bookstore and save me more than $300. Anyway, wish the web site useful for you in future

Before you order any books from there, BE SURE to email them with any questions. Read this page first:

Notice that the book *may* be printed in black and white only (definitely a problem for anatomy textbooks). It *may* or *may not* have the CD, etc.

I wouldn't order any books from there without first making sure the book is exactly what I need. Then if you're satisfied, you can definitely save a lot of money.
