Cheaper textbooks online

Well, most everybody knows that. But the great news from New York Times Cyberfamilias columnist Michelle Slatalla is BookFinder.com. It's "an umbrella search site that sifts through the inventories of hundreds of thousands booksellers worldwide, started a simple, easy-to-use textbook search tool. The way it works: enter a title, I.S.B.N. or author’s name in Bookfinder’s textbooks search box to navigate a huge database of 125 million new and used books. You can compare prices, shipping costs and the availability of less expensive editions published overseas." She offers other tips and links to other useful Web sites for savvy student shoppers.
