Great Place for used Books!
I have located a great book store for used certification books at a reasonable price. Exam books are extremely expensive as you all know.
The place is called Halfprice books. Im located in Pittsburgh and have been roaming around a few of them and picking up some books as well. You might already know, but just thought i would mention it.

It looks like Halfprice Books currently has 74 stores in 10 states--unfortunetly none near me here in So Cal
.
I'm reading some good things about them online. Looks interesting.

There's also so stores called fire-sale books. They have reasonably priced books in great condition. I think the sell liquidated books. It may not be the latest editions but you still get the idea and how to steps.
Ebay >>> Amazon >>> Half Price Books.What next? -

I like:
www.alibris.com
and of course
www.amazon.com
recently found www.abebooks.com and though I haven't made a purchase, have been interested in a few (my interests in books far exceed the IT library).

When looking to buy books online, I always start with the book search service addall.com. The best prices are usually through a zShop merchant on Amazon.com. You just have to be careful that the shipping is not via Media Mail. If so, it can take much, much longer to get your purchase that you may want.

I agree, and it seems to vary so much and is never really reliable.
I just ordered an Access 2000 book and received it via Media Mail in 4 days.
I've ordered a textbook for a class in the past, which took over a month to arrive.

Which ones are you going to? The one in robinson seems to have a better selection, but I live by the one on McKnight. i haven't been to any others.Andy
