What about the book store at the college or university that she is going to. A lot of students turn in books at the end of a semister and then they turn around and sell them again but at a reduced price. Also try an add in your local paper. Did you try eBay? I will tell you that many are found at garage sales, but then you have to watch the publishing date as some get outdated after the first year published. Good Luck

I believe there are a variety of web sites that deal with selling college text books. Search the web for them. Here's an example.

Some of these text books are very expensive, I've had to buy a bunch for my wife (she gets her masters this fall.)
eCampus.com I've used several times, they screwed up one order but made things right. I usually search in Bookfinder.com they'll help you find the lowest prices.
