Why hello there AG. With school starting back everyone seems to be making threads about it so i thought i'd join the trend/ ask for some advice.

I'm in my third year of University and although i don't start for a few weeks, my book bill (if i buy from retailers) is already sitting at the equivalent of $300.

Even on Amazon the books aren't working out much cheaper so i have started scanning play.com.

Does anybody know any better websites you can purchase books on? Any help would be greatly welcomed.

Thanks :]

Buy used books, but make sure it's not written in. If I may suggest a website? Try Ebay?

Even on Amazon and play, the used books that i need aren't far off retail. I'll check out ebay, see if they have any. Thanks Ace.

Umm, do people use the books they brought after collage? If not couldn't they donate them to the school?
