My little sister is starting her business degree and needs a load of really expensive books.. shes manage to do a year already and stay out of debt but this years going to cost !

Anyone suggest any places to get books online cheap.. Ebay is a no go all very expensive listing at the moment.

The first book is An Introduction to accounting 3rd edi.

Thanks guys and girls

Doubt you'll find much cheaper than ebay. You could try amazon - click where it says 'xx new and used'.

My gal got most of her uni books from Amazon. Of course if you can get a feed into some students who have just finished the course that might be worth pursuing. And, of course, e-bay as said.

Oh - and the library if you get there first

Is there a bookshop local to the uni or somewhere that they are recommended to go to? When I was at uni there was a Blackwells (or whatever they were called) on campus that used to hold quite a lot of the course texts and they had a fair selection of second hand books, maybe worth a look??

Also checking the uni notice boards round her faculty buildings for students selling their books once finished that course is also a good place to find them cheaper than rrp.

Does the university have a scheme to help new students buy books off the previous year's graduates? Or are they books that have to be updated every year?

From what I can tell they are updated as there are quite a few versions of each book
