Where to buy books?

Checking out books from Statistics Books for Loan gives you a chance to preview a book before you buy it. If you find that you will have recurring need for a book, here is a list of sources where you can buy such books with comments.  We suggest comparison shopping since prices can vary.

• www.Walmart.com  - Often we find that Walmart has the best prices, often well below all competitors.
• www.directtextbook.com - This site compares prices on New and Used Textbooks, helping you to find the best price.
• BestBookBuys.com - This service compares the prices among many competitors, but we have sometimes found better prices at Walmart when we manually checked their price.
• http://www.sas.com/apps/pubscat/complete.jsp , SAS Publishing - The source for books specifically geared towards SAS, especially the "Books By Users" titles.
• http://www.stata.com/bookstore/  - The source for books specifically geared towards Stata, with data files associated with the books.
• Amazon.com & Barnes & Noble.com - A terrific selection, carrying almost every book we have ever looked for.
• Ecampus.com & VarsityBooks.com - Not as wide of a selection, geared more towards textbooks you would find for undergraduate and graduate courses, but often very good prices on these kinds of books.
• http://www.abebooks.com/ - New and used textbooks, the prices are sometimes cheaper than the alternatives.
• The UCLA Bookzone - Allows you to search their database of titles and to see what is in stock, saving you time and shipping charges.
