  Hey guys, it's me again. I read this article about university students in the USA who buy textbooks from India, as the locally printed textbooks are too expensive. I was wondering if there is any place where I can buy such cheap textbooks in Singapore.

  These textbooks are printed as low quality paperback, but Indian editions sometimes sell for as little as 10% of the cost of american ones.
  
  There is a shop at the basement of Sim Lim Tower that sells engineering books, and sometimes they have some great textbooks. However, their collection is still quite small.

  Borrow the book from the library or from your friend. Then go to johor. Go to a photostat shop, tell them to 100% copy it and then comb bind it.

  Cheaper and in ringgit.
