This online shopping place is good for students who cannot afford the exorbitant prices of the textbooks in bookstores. Half.com usually has some good deals.

The one thing we need to heed is to make sure of the edition of the book we are buying.

Usually the older editions are cheap and we may get tricked by this. Also we should contact the seller on any confusions and thouroughly question him about the state of the book. Getting an asian version of the same book is a good deal too.Sometimes also half.com sends you coupons which you can redeem .

Now shipping is offered in two ways media mail which is cheaper and expediated mail which is faster but more expensive. They are reliable. This is also a good place to sell your old books.

You can get an account and put up your book with the price.
