    Hi Guys,

    Im also in need of a second hand book shop that sell uni ref books.

    I spent a small fortune on buying ref books from each module while I was studying (the main reason was they were always booked out in the lib!)

    These books cost me around £60-£100 each. Ive tried selling them on ebay & sold a few under £10. No takers on Amazon.

    My books are all on Vet Nursing, Animal behaviour, Ecology, Animal science, Zololgy, Animal Welfare, Law and Ethics.

    I would really need a specialist shop in Manchester. I have tried Blackwell & Hammicks but no takers.

    PLEASE HELP. Need to pay off my student overdraft with these books :-)

    Can you put up a notice at your old Uni and flog them to people on this year's course? Would seem the obvious place to try.

    There used to be one in Cheadle Vilage, next to the Weavers pub. Thats close to sale and Didsbury.

    I would imagien most second hand book shops have to buy books....otherwise it would just be a shop with no stock :-P
