Half Price Books is da bomb

This isn't really about 'apparatus', rather books, but fellow forum members should be aware of the amazing deals occasionally available for older edition chemistry textbooks at Half Price Books.

I just made a loot run, and along with another text I got two weeks ago, I have just recently acquired:

Experimental Organic Chemistry, Gilbert & Martin, 3rd ed, $5
Organic Chemistry, Brown & Foote, 3rd ed, $5
Quantitative Chemical Analysis, Harris, 5th ed, $8
Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, 3rd ed, $10

Amazon lists new copies of these, mostly one edition newer, for $74.99 (4th), $177.95 (4th), $84.36 (7th), $125.96 (4th).

That totals $463.26, but my total, including tax, was $30.
More like 'Fifteenth Price Books'. :D

Not all books are discounted this enormously, I see a lot for $40-$50, but great deals like this do show up.
