Re: buying books online
Half.com is pretty good. As with any site it's buyer beware, but as Billfred stated above, it is an ebay company & it's been around since at 2002 or so (When I first used that site), so it's not going anywhere.

Searching books by the ISBN number is your best bet.
That's usually on the inside cover of the book near the publisher & date.

Also, the proce difference MAY be because it's used. Both new & used items are sold on Half.com.

If you don't mind every page being marked up with highlighter (worst case scenario one would think), go ahead & buy from there.
The descptions usually have a brief summary of problems (cracked binding, marked up pages, etc, etc..)
Just pay attention to that before you purchase something. (Especially a workbook where you need to hand in some pages that may be missing, or already written in)
