Hello,

I need a communication textbook for my course. Unfortunately, I cannot rent a book over Amazon, since they won't ship to my country. Any other options?

You didn't get any replies before because we were concerned that these sites held pirated books, which is against forum rules and can get the site owners in trouble.

You can use World Cat a search engine to find books in local libraries. I’ve used this to find a few textbooks already.

I get all of my cheap books from Abe Books. I once got an entire program load of books for $82 shipped. It would've cost me nearly $2000 had I bought them in many other places. Abe is a godsend.
