Another cheap book site

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

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.

The Concise Atlas of the Stars
Night Sky Atlas: The Moon, Planets, Stars and Deep Sky Objects

... went a bit overboard.
Total cost was .... $41 US, pretty damn good.

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!!
