Get a free download of Suze Orman’s latest book, Suze Orman’s 2009 Action Plan, through Thursday, January 15th at 9:00 p.m. EST courtesy of Oprah’s Best Life Week.

“In her new book, Suze Orman’s 2009 Action Plan, Suze delivers honest, straightforward guidance that will help you adapt to the new economic reality of today and place you on the path to financial security in the years ahead.”

I just downloaded my copy, and I’m very much looking forward to reading her tips on credit, savings and spending, paying for college, retirement, real estate and protecting my family.

The following is a guest post from Claire at Choyster Cash.

Although I use libraries and garage sales for most books I need, when I am looking for something in particular and need to “own” or “gift” a copy of that specific book, I turn to Half.com, where I can find any book I am looking for. Tonight, after ordering a number of books for my grandmother, my mother stood over me shocked. “How do you pay *so little* for books?” she asked.

Once again, I thought this was one of those things everyone did.

Here is how I “work the system” to get the cheapest books possible online:

1. I log in to Cashbaq or Ebates so that anything I do buy I will be receiving a percentage back on for what I pay. If you do not have account at either of these places, sign up *now* for a $5 bonus directly deposited to your account!

2. I then do a search on Half.com for the most important book I am looking for on my list. This would be the one that you have to buy in this transaction.

3. Of the options available, I find the cheapest ones (usually $0.01-$0.99 for me).

4. Of those cheap options, I find the seller with the highest number of books sold (the number is right next to the name).

5. Then, in another screen I open up the seller’s store to see if they have the other books I am looking for.

Essentially – it’s important to buy all the books from the same seller so as to reduce the shipping cost of the $0.01-$0.99 books you are ordering.

I have been doing this for years, and I swear that I usually find 90% of the books I am looking for at a price of far less than one dollar ($0.01 is actually common!).

Although you simply *must* be using your local library for most all of your book needs – this is the way to buy the ones you do need at a price far cheaper than anywhere else with an endless selection!

Through 7:00 p.m. PST Friday, September 12th you can download The Truth About Cheating by M. Gary Neuman as a PDF document from the Oprah website. Mr. Neuman discusses why men stray and what you can do to prevent it. I’m hoping that none of my readers actually need this book, but on the off chance that you do (or maybe you’re just curious), I thought I’d post it!
