Be careful with buying international editions, they have different problem sets in them. In classes that assign problems out of the book for required homework (engineering, math, sciences), that could really kill you. Books like Calculus: Early Vectors by Stewart are used for Calc. I, II, and III... so that's quite nice.
And yes, amazon.com is the best place to go to buy them. Make sure you buy them a week or two in advance, because even expedited shipping can take a while. On campus, Textbook Solutions is the cheapest (although they don't always have what you need). Next cheapest would be Traditions Bookstore.
And don't forget, at the end of the semester you can sell your books back to the MSC bookstore and get a pretty little end of semester bonus (usually >$100).
