try ebay. i bought a math book from there a while ago for about $50 shipped. then, when the class was over, i sold it back to the college bookstore and ended up making $25.

The first person to say cheapassstudent or whatever that lame new site is gets kicked in the balls.
Find out if any of your friend's parents work for a textbook company... they get to request them for free.
I'm afraid I'll get fu@ked over on ebay, I'm talking about a legit website. Thanks though, if worst comes to worst. I'll check out ebay.

Anywhere except your college bookstore. The 2 schools I have gone to charge about 1.5 to 2 times as much as any other book store. A lot of schools have bookstores nearby that specialize in used textbooks, so you could take a look and ask around for one of those.
