If you've gotten your list of required reading, gone to Akadamiebokhandeln and cringed at the prices (even with a student discount!) then you can turn to the internet or the local second hand university book store for much cheaper prices.
For those of you that have no money to spare, you can reserve your books at the university library (this means you have two weeks to read your books and sometimes it can take a few months of queuing to get the book at all). Or you can just read the non-loan copy at the library. Another option that requires a bit of money is sharing a copy with a course mate or copying the parts that you need.
The local secondhand university book store is called Andrahandsbokhandeln. The name is quite a mouthful and literally means "secondhand book store." You can find it on Winstrupsgatan 9, which is the street across from the city library, Stadsbibliotek.
Sometimes you can find new coursebooks at low prices online. Adlibris, Bokus and Lycknis all sell course books at decent prices. Bokfynd is a search engine that compares online prices but it's not always 100% reliable. Unfortunately these websites don't have all the functions in English but just search for the title and hopefully you can manage your way through the rest. Shipping is almost always free.
