I've been ordering text books from bol.com. They are WAY cheaper than most
other places. For example, I just got _Statistical Inference_ by Casella and
Berger for less than $50 (including shipping from the UK). It was going for
about $120 in the University book store here. They can sell you books cheap,
but you may have to wait while they backorder.

A good site to compare world-wide on-line book prices is evenbetter.com (which
has now been taken over by dealtime.com, I believe).
