Cheap books ?
-
Can anyone recommend a bookstore that ships overseas and is cheaper than Amazon ? Fatbrain has gone to the dogs, my order was $40 more than Amazon, so now I want to see if I can go any lower. It's all .NET books, and a couple of new Dilbert ones. :) Christian The tragedy of cyberspace - that so much can travel so far, and yet mean so little. And you don't spend much time with the opposite sex working day and night, unless the pizza delivery person happens to be young, cute, single and female. I can assure you, I've consumed more than a programmer's allotment of pizza, and these conditions have never aligned. - Christopher Duncan - 18/04/2002

Thanks, but they don't have Inside C# second ed, or any dilbert books. They are cheap though. I'd go with them for sure if they had what I wanted, I'd save about US$5 a book.

Nothing against Amazon, I keep secretly hoping they will make actual profit one day. Just wondering what else is cheaper.

Yeah, bookpool is about as cheap as I've seen. Beyond that, Amazon is pretty strong pricewise. And I heard that they're actually in the black these days, so perhaps I should stop referring to them as the World's Largest Non Profit Organization...
