Not sure if they have any stores in the US or in Texas, but I find that Indigo book store (more so then Chapters..) Has some good sales, most often in their history books, where they sell a book for 5-8$

Raid a Goodwill/Thrift/secondhand store. You may not only fnd good, cheap books, but may also find books of historical value as well, usually at prices that are pennies to the dollar compared to the actual value of the book, since many of those places do not have appraisers on hand to value donations appropriately.

Try the local library, unless you insist on being able to keep the books.
