Second Hand/Cheap school books

Greener

Not sure if this is the correct place for this thread but does anyone know of a second hand bookshop that specialises in school books? Or some sort of medium I can get access to second hand books online? Looking for 5th Year Leaving Cert 2008-2009?


Any help will be appreciated

I still have my 5th and 6th year books, in pretty good condition if you want them. PM me if your interested and i'll let you know what books I have.

Seems like a huge waste to throw them out.

try http://www.schoolbookexchange.ie/

They have a pretty nice collection and the sellers have descriptions of the books theyre selling.

if you live near Stillorgan theres a really good bookshop opposite the entrance to UCD on the Dual carriageway. loads of second hand books for cheap. and you can sell your old books there.

Aye schoolbookexchange is good, I've got stuff up there. PM me if you want details of my warez. I mean books. No point spending up to 30 euro (seriously.. art book.. what were they thinking) on some books that you can get a bit scruffy but otherwise perfect second hand.

Second hand books are the way too go, albeit they dont smell as good

PurpleFistMixer

Sometimes they smell better.

True dat.

Books Unlimited do 2nd hand books in the Blanchardstown SC in Dublin and this small book shop in Blanchardstown village beside the greyhound pub do second hand books as well.

Sometime they really, dont, I got my maths book 2nd hand (I've never actually opened it, but it was on the book list) and for about 6 months I couldnt open it for the stench of smoke eminating from it......

Then I opened it and realised it was an awful text book.

www.midlandbooks.ie have a selection of second hand books. think their usually half the price or somthing like that. You could be saving a good bit with the price of some of the books

the schoolbookshop website looks really good but are the books sent to you or do you have to go collect them?

If your living in Wicklow, head over to Wicklow town.

'The Murragh' apparently has loads of free and basically free schoolbooks in good nic.

I couldnt tell you how to get there though.

Just a thought. Great idea all the same.

might be a reference for people who want second hand books in future, but virtually nothing up their yet at the moment it seems!

Look in all second hand book shops, you never know what you'll find!

Found the Accountancy book in a second hand shop in County Galway for a FIVER!
Perfect condition, and only a fiver.. I nearly died.

Shame, I have my book since last year, but worth a ramble into a bookshop, just in case.
