Does anybody know goos sites to swap books with each other to make it cheaper. My reading list for uni will cost me a fortune if i pay rrp for them!. I went on amazon and used prices are still sky high.

Any reccommendations would be great

    what are you gonna be studying?

    i suggest not getting any of the books until you've started your course so you can then see whether it's for you and also whether you actually need them.
