Cheap Books

Amazon got its start shipping books by mail. Have a look at these book sellers that offer free (or cheap) world wide shipping of books

Book Depository: Started by a former employee of Amazon, the Book Depository ships 1.8 million unique titles, FOR FREE within 48 hours, from Gloucester, United Kingdom. Pay in US Dollar, Euro or Pounds. This will be of most interest to buyers outside of the USA, as they seem a little more expensive than Amazon.com, but often less expensive than Amazon.co.uk. However, if you add in the cost of shipping with Amazon, Book Depository maybe cheaper. Plus many books not available on Amazon are available at the Book Depository.

Better World Books: Offers Free shipping in the USA and shipping for $3.97 anywhere in the world. Again, prices are slightly more than Amazon, but with free US and low cost worldwide shipping, this might be compensated. Specializes in used books and every purchase contributes to literacy initiatives locally, nationally and around the world. "Here's the best part: In addition to selling new titles, Better World Books supports book drives and collects used books and textbooks through a network of over 1,600 college campuses and partnerships with nearly 1,000 libraries nationwide. So far, the company has converted more than 11 million donated books into $4.5 million in funding for literacy and education. In the process, we've also diverted more than 6,000 tons of books from landfills. "
