One of my favorite sources for books, DVDs and CDs is Daedalus Books. Selling remainder books, their quantities may very limited on some titles, but their prices are unbeatable. Add to that a flat fee of $5.95 for shipping regardless of the quantity, and it can be hard to pass up their offers.
I just received their latest catalog, and here are some items that fit in the scope of this site. I have included a link to the page on their site if you want to buy it. Unless noted, the books are hardback. (Typically I put the original date the book was published or movie was released in parenthises after the title, but in this case the year represents the date this particular edition was published.)
