The suggestion I have, if you're on a tight budget, is eBay.

I've picked up many good books there for 1/2 the cover price or less.

I actually purchased about a good 40-50 books from there, mostly Oracle Press (read: freaking expensive) books for anywhere between $20-$35 for the newer ones.

There was at least one eBay seller whom I bought books from who worked for them, read the books, and when he was done, put them on eBay.

I picked up books on Windows Server 2003 (.NET server, written when it was Beta), Oracle, C++, Computer Architecture, Gigabit Ethernet, UNIX, and Cisco there.

Amazon also has a good Used books section, which I used for a Secure Programming book at 1/2 the cover price.
