Recently I posted my own PF reading list. Now for the cheap part.
J.D. Roth over at Get Rich Slowly, encourages you to get them free from your public library or for cheap from garage sales and thrift stores (I highly agree - I had to add three new shelves to my PF library bookcase just for Goodwill favorites).
PaperBackSwap.com, a free book swap site that has over 4 million books is also a great source for super-cheap reads. I did a search to see how many Personal Finance books were listed and was pleased to find many great books, including most I had included on my list.
At PaperbackSwap.com, a quick search on "Finance" yielded 3,923 results, starting with the venerable "The New York Institute of Finance Guide to Investing." Kiplinger's Retire Worry-Free, Get a Financial Life, and The Motley Fool You Have More Than You Think : The Foolish Guide To Personal Finance were on the first page alone.
A search on "Debt" yielded 1,113 results with Jean Chatzky's great book, "Pay It Down! From Debt to Wealth on $10 a Day" and "Generation Debt" by Anya Kamenetz on the first page. "Retirement" yielded even more results at 1,309.
If you absolutely must buy a book from a store, be sure to check online coupons and the rewards cards brick-and-mortar stores give out, such as Borders Rewards or Barnes and Noble's member program.
