try lookin for the internation edition of your book on ebay. i have and found many of my engineering books to pretty cheap. the only difference is that you can't sell it back to a bookstore(but to other students its ok of course), no color, printed mostly in other countries in english, and its paper back. hella worth it.

That's why I buy used books off amazon and ebay for usually 1/3-1/4 of the price and make fun of all my friends who went to the bookstore

Default well every1 does not have the option of EBAY

Not every1 has ebay to look foward to, years ago when i started at CNX University in thailand for Mechanical Engineering i then took the last years at Nihon(Nippon) University in Japan. Its hard to find books, English ones are fine but not ones that translate to Thai/khmer, there were plenty Japanese /English books floating around but not Japanese thai/ english so sumtimes yu have to buy it new and they cost.
