Best deals on books/ebooks/tutorials
This idea came to me last night whilst I was looking for a deal on an Oracle certification book. Amazon.com had always been my goto source, but this time half.ebay.com was the best around. So what sites have you found in your searching that tend to provide excellent deals? Hard-copy text is what I was searching for this time, but feel free to post any e-book sites (whether free or reasonably priced). If it was helpful to you it's bound to be useful to others as well.
As I said my "old faithful" was always http://www.amazon.com but my new fave I believe is gonna be http://www.half.ebay.com

is always good to check ebay first i find... i managed to buy 4 books on C and C++ for only £7, all in perfect condition, and would've cost me well over £100 if i got them seperately.
heres a good link for many various free ebooks i found a while ago http://www.comms.scitech.susx.ac.uk/fft/ hope somebody finds it useful  |

I normally stick to Ebay or the local book stores.
Nice site Seif, I just wrote a script to pull all of the files off there..., hope the guy didn't mind...

If I don't get my books from the local book store or from the used books on amazon then I normally get them at www.bookpool.com

Awesome link, K. Thanks. Seif, looks pretty good. I won't be as greedy as IR, though. At least not right now
 Bookpool has that Oracle cert. book for pretty much the same price I found last night. Some damned good prices there. Thanks again, Kyle.
