A site for buying (engineering) textbooks...

[Boundary Layer]

Does anyone have a particularly good one?
By good I mean it delivers quickly and reliably to international (Canadian) PO Box addresses for a reasonable price.

I'm looking for John B. Heywood's text Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals, published by McGraw Hill in 1988. The campus bookstore is asking $236 CDN for it, which is totally ludicrous. I've seen it on ebay at buy-it-now prices of around $40-$50, but the sellers I've contacted won't send it to my address.

I've never scrounged around much, but I bought most of my books through Half.com (part of eBay). In general, I saved about 50% on everything I bought there.

Yeah, www.half.com or used books off of www.amazon.com work really well. Look around your area though, chances are that someone has opened a bookstore just off the campus and sells books a lot cheaper. It can be really good business.
