Answer 2

Your school or university may hold a book sale, with books from ex-students. As these are usually set texts being sold, this is a great opportunity to pick up cheap textbooks. Local (to the school) bookshops may also offer similar deals on used textbooks. Amazon.com is another fantastic source- books can be picked up very cheaply if buying second hand from private sellers.

Try eBay or Amazon.  I've sold a lot of my daughter's used books on eBay.
