Hey guys.. what sites do you go to get the best deals on books? I go to amazon.com but i know there's more out there.

[Elee]

half.com



yeahhhhhhh. they have really great deals !

[soorangee]

i use bigwords.com
it doesn't sell books, but it compares the prices of all the online site that do sell books like amazon, half, textbookrus, etc.
save like 50% of the money i would've paid at the school bookstore =]

[bonbons]

i've heard good stuff about half.com lol

[PDURRR]

i just compare between amazon and half.com

maybe i should try that bigwords.com next semester

[brian032]

Depends. I use booksprice.com and it does a search on all bookstores (Amazon, abebooks, half, ebay, betterworld books, etc.).

[jennyfury]

i like campusi.com =] it compares from lots of stores by the price + shipping and all that good stuff~ very organized too

amazon and half are both pretty good
but sometimes i suggest make copy the book instead of buying them

[cavil.]

http://www.campusbooks.com is by far the best site.

Yea I copied some books before. It was only because I looked at the syllabus and knew we weren't going to use the whole book anyway and only photocopied the sections I needed. Saved me a ton of money sometimes.


But half.com usually has the lowest prices for me

Half.com! Sometimes I use places like Textbooksrus.com.. but that really depends on what book you're trying to buy and if they have a special on it.

[QUlRKofFATE]

it really depends on what book you're trying to buy. i usually just google the IBSN number of the book and then look at all the different sites that come up, or like everyone else said, go to the sites that compare prices. this semester i got my books from half.com, amazon.com, and textbookx.com

[DKYang]

I go to half.com, I used Amazon and didn't really like the experience. I just have better experience at half.com, and yea I know it depends on the seller. At least at half.com, I can get a brand new book that's in a new state, not used state.

I go to amazon since I buy mostly all my books from there. I used to shop around ebay but my friend had this really bad experience with it so I stopped.

[she-smiles]

AMAZON!
my campus bookstore is way too darn expensive.

[justin park]

www.gettextbooks.com also searches many sites for an isbn number and returns hits from amazon, half.com, and other less known book stores (including international editions)

[rubyx]

other than the sites already mentioned, I use bookmooch.com and paperbackswap.com. they have lots of books, but not textbooks. Good if you have literature courses. You list books you want to get rid of, people request them, and you get a point to request a book from another user. It saves a lot of money.
