Ebay Books Auction Large section of the Ebay site with thousands of books, including rare books and first editions. There's automatic bidding software that keeps you bidding until your limit is reached, and information about the track record of the seller. Some sellers will not ship internationally. This small site, attached to the 'real' Camden Lock Bookshop in London, is big on ethics. It buys and sells books which would otherwise be pulped because of superficial damage or over-ordering by the bigger book stores.
All paperbacks are half price and many deal with green or environmental issues.
The site also features an online magazine containing some interesting and informative snippets. In addition to booksales, the site's political resource centre offers UK political news and gossip, manifestos, general election results, and links to MPs websites. Both services are free. With its clear and simple design, this site could grow into a very useful resource for students looking for cheap, secondhand course books.
