Books for A level course

Can anyone please recommend any good online places to order the books that my daughter needs for her A levels.
I have a letter setting out the ones needed and that it is cheaper to get them online. I am going to try Amazon and play.com etc. but was wondering if there was anywhere doing good deals at the moment.
She would obviously need them fairly quickly.

Why are you having to buy them?
Hi Poet!!
The letter states that because the students need to annotate them in detail they can not be re-used and so we have to buy them. The letter also states that they are cheaper online than they can supply them.
(I had to pay for some books for the
GCSEs as well)0 -
We found Amazon marketplace to be where we had most luck, not many bargains to be had as they update the editions so often but we got some a bit cheaper there.0

Are they English Literature books? They are the only ones I have ever had to buy for mine to annotate. I got them from various places, oxfam bookshop, ebay and amazon.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0

Yes they are.

I am going to have a look around the shops tomorrow and then buy online if they are expensive in store.0 -

Thank you Dustykitten I would never have thought of looking in there, but I did manage to get a copy of 'Room' that was as good as new for only £2.50 from there today.
So I saved some money and gave to charity at the same time - lovely.

I know the feeling, DD1 came home from college today and casually mentioned a possible trip to Russia next year
