There is no doubt that paying $20-$100 for books brings you back to your college days. It's even worse if you are like me and still in college. Many of you will read that Kaplan, Powerscore, MGMAT guides are excellent! Then you get excited, hop on to Amazon and go... 
$120 bucks? ...meh.
Then you resort to downloading outdated, pirated books off the internet. Then you put them on dropbox or some cloud server where you can access them at all times. While I don't advocate this method, it may work for you. Others like to have a book in front of them, it creates less distractions. I know that when I had my books on the computer, I would constantly surf the internet after every two problems. IT'S A HUGE DISTRACTION.
So what I am advocating is a method that you have probably forgotten since you were a kid. THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
What's that you say menacel? GMAT books at my public library? No way! They would be all checked out.
Well, I took the chance and went to my library last week and received ALL 8 MGMAT books, OG 12, AND KAPLAN PREMIER 2011 all for the price of... FREE!
Well econ majors may say that I wasted my time, but guess who didn't spend $200!
You may have limits on your library book rentals, so I think two months is generally the maximum time to rent books.
This way once you're done, your friend picks them up and gives them back to you.
Some of you may be unlucky and won't be able to find the books at your library, but remember most public libraries have an INTERLIBRARY LOAN, meaning any library that is within the system of all the libraries your library is connected to, you can borrow books from.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!

- What you can do is rent the books
- max out the renewal time
- then get your friend to put the books on hold.

It's a great idea 
However, in my city I don't think I would get those books in the library!

sorry Is your library part of worldcat.org? I think the charge is $2 per book where I'm at if it's on worldcat, but not in my public library system.
