    Shouldn't need them if you're only in first year. It's a common mistake most people make in first year. People start freaking out that they won't pass unless they have the books, I did it myself, but the library copies are almost always available. Unless it's a case of the books being required for the course, is it?

    Yeah, like, we were given a ''required textbook'' list...i know about the library, but we were told that we need to BUY these books...i'm just lookin at where to go to find second hand ones (instead of payin LOADS of €€)

    Use www.bookfinder.com, change the postage destination to Ireland and it should come up with some good results. Also check for previous editions of the book, the last one may only have been printed 2 years ago for example.

    Yeah one of the major things about college textbooks is that they bring out new editions fairly frequently. So while you might not find the specific edition e.g. say it's the 7th edition of a particular title, you'd probably get the 6th edition quite cheap and the info would be in or around the exact same.
