Unfortunately, my budget will not allow me to shop at Borders, where you can easily expect to pay the top prices for books. This list will definitely help me find books that can fit my budget.

I've been using PaperBackSwap and Half.com - nice to see lots of alternatives. Personally, I like PBS the most, but the books I want aren't always there.

I enjoy reading books and they are something I will spend money on full well knowing I will never read it again. I have bought a few used books on Amazon for less, should do that more or these other sites you recommend. I should buy more used books.
