Before you pay the horrendous prices at your college bookstore, try half.com. It's an ebay subsidiary and I've had great success buying and selling my books.

Most sellers chose to ship via media mail as a default (which can take a long time), but a lot also have an "expedited shipping" option for only $2.00 more.

Unfortunately, as a previous poster stated, there is no UK version. It sucks, but I couldn't refrain from posting for that reason alone... If it helped just one person save money this year, it served it's purpose.

Maybe if people start emailing ebay about a UK version, they'll get the picture.

Beneficial to early shoppers at the campus-area bookstores is a generally good selection of used textbooks to ease the burden of buying new. Though the books aren't always in mint
condition, the discounted prices may be worth considering. But the Smart College Students Buy Textbooks Cheap: http://www.missiontuition.com/smart-college-students-buy-textbooks-cheap/
Used books can save a student $10-50, or more in some cases.
