The Book Depository, Vibes and Scribes on the quays in Cork have good deals and try looking at the ads in the Student Centre too because often I've seen older students selling off their old books
Also look at the secondhand books in the college bookshop, I've gotten a decent bargain or two there
Are you really sure you need to buy all the books? I think you can really use the library for most (unless it's a definite core textbook like a novel, etc) if you're organized about photocopying?
You'd be kicking yourself if you bought a book and didn't really use it that much and there's dozens of copies in the library Especially if it's a subject you don't plan to keep on.
What ones are you looking for? 0 -

^Exactly. You have access to the JSTOR database through UCC too 0 -

Thanks everyone for your responses! I bought two books from amazon for a tenner including delivery!! If I was to buy them in the shop it would have cost me €40! Plus a second year is selling me the €50 geography book for €15 :P I did buy five english books from the bookshop which cost €50 but that was very good I thought! So, so far so good!
Great stuff!
