Does anyone know of any good sites to get second hand books for uni?
Or that offer a student discount?

Depending on the type of books you need, abebooks can be a good place to look as well.

I use amazon and check the second hand sellers. A few old notes/tears/highlighter doesn't really matter if you can get it for a few pounds.

Ebay, play.com are also good but a bit hit and miss. You could also see if your uni does a book selling service for old students who no longer need their books, and there are specific student websites out there but I'm not sure of the names.
