I'm a big library fan, but you've had lots of suggestions in that direction already. As an alternative - if you don't mind waiting a bit - I'd suggest checking the charity shops regularly, especially if there is an Oxfam bookshop within reach, as they are generally quite well stocked and classified and it's easy to find things. As more people have bought the books new and read them, they should filter through to second-hand stocks quite quickly. If you wait a little, they should also be available more cheaply second-hand via Amazon.
