I almost always buy my paper books used through Amazon and generally get very good deals. You do have to pay for shipping -- usually a few dollars but sometimes the books go for pennies and may have some cosmetic issues or highlighting/underlines etc. but still wonderfully readable!
I've bought some used hardbacks from 3rd party vendors at Amazon for ridiculously low prices with very satisfactory results. One that arrived recently that had been listed as being is "very good condition" looked as if it was fresh off the press. I doubt the original owner had bothered to even open it. Although another from a different source at Amazon that had been advertised as "Like New" had yellowed pages and shouldn't have been called anything more than "good" condition at best.
