cheapest place for college books?

[Walleye]

in general?

i read somewhere that i should order them from amazon.co.uk because they're much much cheaper outside the US. (but availability is more limited.)

thoughts?

sup walleye,

I concur© I ordered most of my books from there for college, and they're a lot cheape even after shipping© Shipping usually takes 5-7 days, and is really cheap considering© I got a differential equations book for like $40 shippied

The only books that aren't cheaper are CS books and novels IMHO© Check out www©addall©com , they search a lot of online book stores for you ¥including amazon©co©uk¤, and show you the prices in dollars© They also include the prices shipped and what not, so it'll save you a lot of hassle© If amazon©co©uk doesn't show up for a book check the site anyway, sometimes addall is wierd like that© Sometimes a few other places are a little cheaper but I tend to stick with amazon©co©uk since it's really reliable© Good luck©

cheapest place is the library

i made it through grad school getting them all from the library, except for maybe 5

it's especially easier if your college has book sharing programs with other local colleges

I get my fiance to buy them for me. She works at the university and gets a 10% discount.
