Tools: A less-expensive way to purchase textbooks?

["Hart, Geoff" <Geoff-H -at- MTL -dot- FERIC -dot- CA>]

Just spotted an interesting article on the New York Times Web site (you will
need to set up a login name and password before you can see the article):
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/21/education/21BOOK.html

According to the article, you can often purchase college textbooks overseas
(e.g., in the U.K.) for well below domestic prices, even including shipping.
This is obviously relevant for any parent trying to fund their child's
college education, but the tie-in for us is that this may also be true for
certain computer or software books and for other books related to the
writing and editing professions (particularly if those books are also sold
overseas). Worth a look!
