Here are my favorite book buying sites besides amazon.com, which has good used books, but charges $3.99 for shipping for each purchase – too much, in my opinion. If you can find them all with one seller then you can save money with shipping.

PLEASE NOTE: It can take up to 7-10 days for these to come in. The links such as “On Amazon” etc should be clickable.

Note: The Sayers versions are very important to obtain because of the translation and pagination; the other editions are usually recommended because of the introduction or included essays discussed in class
