Purchase the French books you need online. You may be able to get discounted new editions from some online retailers, but you can also buy used French books from a number of sellers, including the Amazon.com Marketplace, Alibris.com and Bookfinder.com. French books from these sellers may cost only a few dollars, or even pennies. You'll have to pay for shipping, but the reduced price is still a significant savings in most cases.

Purchase French books from a used bookstore. You'll have less of a selection walking into a bookstore and you aren't guaranteed to find any one specific French book, but some larger bookstores with websites or online inventories may make the process easier. Prices at used bookstores are typically very cheap and many used bookstores deal in textbooks as well as foreign language books.

Purchase French books from a college bookstore. Prices may be high for new editions, but you're almost certain to find used editions of textbooks and foreign-language books that are used in French classes at all levels. College bookstores typically overstock and should have a selection of used French books that you may purchase whether or not you are a college student.
