Best website to get textbooks?

<p>Which website sells the cheapest new (not second-hand) textbooks? Do the books usually come in perfect condition?</p>

<p>half.com
Amazon is good too b/c they have price comparisons from most online bookstores.</p>

<p>half.com; check out ebay as well. Craigslist can sometimes do wonders</p>

<p>I recommend a site that actually compares prices at multiple sites at one time. </p>

<p>Check out gettextbooks.com. It will show a listing of many different sites selling the book you are looking for. Extremely helpful. I've had particularly good luck with Textbooks.com in terms of good pricing and quick service.</p>

<p>But mostly, I love that gettextbooks.com shows you what everyone is selling it for and provides the links. Can't ask for more than that.</p>

<p>I used half.com and Amazon Marketplace, but if the book is a cheaper one in the first place (such as books for classes in which you read literature), it could be cheaper just to buy the book in person, either at your school or a bookstore, since shipping fees are between $3.49 and $3.99 on both those sites, unless if you order from Amazon itself. For example, one of my books only costs $2.00 (it's a book of Edgar Allen Poe stories), so obviously, I'm getting that at school. :)</p>

<p>But if it's a more expensive book, you can get some REALLY nice deals (one of my books was 90% off).</p>

<p>"I used half.com and Amazon Marketplace..."</p>

<p>TITCR.</p>

<p>Try campusi.com; it searches a number of sites for you, so you don't have to fret about it. (Including Amazon Marketplace, Half, etc.) Pretty nifty, IMO.</p>

<p>I used biblio.com and found both books I needed for $91 total. Although I went with this site after comparing prices myself on half.com, amazon, and other shops first. If I were to do it over again, I would have saved about an hour by using a comparison site.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.textbook411.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.textbook411.com&lt;/a> searches over 20 websites for you, and calculates it with postage added and stuff. its awesome. it does include half and amazon and everything</p>

<p>Can you tell me if this is legitimate?

It says International edition that's why they're able to offer it at such a low price or is this fraud?</p>

<p>oh btw thanks for all the websites</p>

<p>try cheapbooks.com</p>

<p>hkapoo -- "International editions" are simply the same versions of US texts with cheaper, thinner paper and softback covers. Same layout and page numbers, but usually in black and white only.</p>

<p>I love them and they are very legit. The only thing is sometimes they ship from Shanghai or the Phillippines so if school starts soon you might want to rush ship.</p>

<p>Yeah, it's legit.</p>
