Am not sure if this has been posted here, or even if I have posted about it, but anyway, is worth a remention.

www.betterworldbooks.com (http://www.betterworldbooks.com)

They have a huge range, and many are secondhand so cheap.
You do pay postage, but the books are cheap, so still works out cheaper.
I bought a heap yesterday, and have bought from them in the past. :thumbsup:

Woohoo, the 6 books arrived today!! Took ages for delivery though, 3 weeks, but they say that delivery can take that long.
Book depository are very quick.
All books look good, and all second hand, look forward to browsing through them. :)

Flicked through the books last night at work and very happy with them.
3 are ex library books, but other 3 look pretty new.:)
I agree Luis, Asimov was/is one of the best. I have a couple of his nonfiction books, explaining science and such, he makes it sound so easy. Also really love his fiction!!
