Now here is the real secret to buying cheap books online. Go to firstandsecond.com This is a bookstore based in India. They have the same books as in the US but they are sold at a fraction of the price. Often they are reprinted on thinner paper and the graphics are usually black and white but it has the same page numbers and every other detail is exactly like the version sold in university bookstore. The main drawback is that the books can take a couple of weeks to arrive from India.
Here is how one of my books break down.

I tried "firstandsecond.com" for the isbn I used in my example and it costed $90, while the one I bought online was $18. For my managerial communication book they wanted about $110 - I bought this one on campus for $35.
Mabye it depends on the subject of the book. I didn't have much luck with "firstandsecond.com"
