Where can I get college books at good prices?

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I have a cousin in Buffalo wanting to know where to get some College Text Books at some good prices. A while back someone posted a website from the UK which sells books much cheaper and that even after shipping buying from there is cheaper. I'd appreciate if anyone could help me out.

This is the specific book he's looking for:

Numerical Optimization Techniques for engineering design with applications" by Garret N. Vanderplaats

Half.com really screwed me. I used to buy books all the time from them until they royally screwed up. I ordered a biology book and they gave me a worthless study guide. There's a lot of mistitled books as well.

I like Amazon.

I saw that too, I e-mailed him about that, I'll see what he says.

Get a job at the college bookstore buyback counter. People will sell you books for next to nothing.

I recently bought all of mine this semester from amazon marketplace because the European bookstores from addall.com don't like to ship to Hawaii. 🙁 Took one of my books 3 weeks to get to me though. That wasn't fun.
