I know borrowing is different than owning, but if you don't need to keep/share the physical book, the SFPL, Berkeley, and Oakland free public library systems are excellent, especially since you can request books to be sent to the branch of your choice. Signing up for a library card is super easy.

http://half.com/! It's a division of eBay. I've bought a lot from there.

Free shipping after $10, and you earn rewards with each purchase. I've never spent more than $3.99 on a good condition book! I order 1 or 2 times a month.

You can try your local Good Will or resale store. A Good Will book shop opened next to my kids' karate studio and they have a great selection. Paperback is usually $3-4 and hard cover is $5.
