Used Book in Good Condition
The Pirate Bay. I normally don't pirate things but textbooks are the exception. The industry is a monopoly and a scam designed to suck money out of broke students because they have no other options. Seriously, is there much difference between the 12th and 13th edition? Nope, it's a scam. $300 for a 700 page book and we only use 100 pages of it? Scam. Seriously, has undergraduate Calculus/Physics/Psycholgy/Biology/etc. changed that much in the last 40 years? Nope, it's a scam.
I might get slammed here, but my textbooks, if I were to buy them would cost $700 per term - that's $1400/yr. For a 5 year program that's $7000. I do buy some books books but I try to buy previous or international editions. Some books (Electrodynamics by Griffin for example) are worth the price because they are well written books with meaningful changes to each new edition (only 4 editions in 30+ years) - not just re-ordered exercise problems to cash in on the 13th edition (Fuck you R.C. Hibbeler, I used the 4th edition of your book and did just fine!)
If you do buy books, check craigslist for previous editions, use ABEbooks.com. Many of my most valuable books that I still have and use I picked up for $5-10 and were often only a year or two old.
Edit: spelling
Statics by Hibbeler, 13th edition
