abe books can be good - also put the titles and authors he needs into google and see what comes up.#

Try:

www.abebooks.co.uk/books/Textbooks/
www.bookfinder.com/
www.justbooks.co.uk/
www.skoob.com/subject/index.html

and I hear www.sellstudentstuff.com/books/ is good too.

He should also try the student forum at his university to see if there are listings there for second/third year students selling off their copies.

I assume it's a 1 year masters, so second/third wouldn't apply. Still worth checking the forum for completing students.

try www.bookbrain.co.uk. Its a book price comparison website. I used it to find text books
