<p>Yes, Amazon usually has slightly lower prices on new books, and Amazon Marketplace is a good source of used books - but look for the ones that qualify for “Free Super-Saver Shipping,” otherwise it is $3.99 shipping per book and that can add up if you are getting a bunch of books.</p>
<p>Sign up for Borders coupons - they send out 33% and 40% off a single item fairly regularly - that is a good one for the near-$200 books if you want new.</p>
<p>And there are lots of good suggestions in this thread: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/955938-books.html?highlight=books[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/955938-books.html?highlight=books</a></p>
