The bookstore near the Arc Centre on campus is pretty expensive

Textlists come out on the bookshop website Mon 25th Feb.

But it's better to wait until your first lecture, and they will tell you whether you definately need the books or not.

A good way to get second hand books is to go to www.textbookexchange.com.au ...they usually have good savings on there (once I managed to get a Linguistics book for $30 instead of $100 at the bookstore!)

Hope this helps :D

As well as the main UNSW bookshop, there is also a secondhand bookshop on campus, located on the ground floor of the quad, directly under the sundial. They buy and sell secondhand textbooks and you can often save a lot of money buying your books there.
