Ebay is a good spot to look too.
I just bought a Microeconomics textbook for $53 including shipping, the cheapest I could find that EXACT book used at a college bookstore or online was like $110.
College textbooks are a huge rip off industry, change a few words and it's a new edition, require the new edition for each class, and the used ones become worthless and the college and publisher make a lot of money.
It would be like the gas companies changing the gas type every 2 years so you'd have to keep buying a new car because the one you have won't work anymore.
