I don't think this gets nearly enough emphasis. Here in Seattle the used
bookstores have just a _ton_ of stuff. I just landed a hard cover copy of
the SRII rules for 15 bucks a few months ago in pretty good shape. People
sell all sorts of nutty stuff to used book stores. Especially if:
a. They are broke
b. They are sick of playing the games
c. They stole it and are trying to make a buck

Another cheap way to get books is through online book stores. Especially
used. It'll prolly cost you a couple bucks in shipping and handling, but
you'll still manage to save money on some of the books. Some of them even
take checks rather than just credit cards.
