Buying a book for every course can easily become very expensive. However, after some digging, there is some relief.

First, there is Campusbutiken, a secondhand bookshop. It is located on the campus of Stockholms Universitet (enter here). For example, the Beta Mathematics Handbook at turned out to be roughly 100 SEK cheaper than a new one from “Bokus”:www.bokus.se, while showing only minimal signs of use.

Second, there is kthbok.com, an online platform for buying and selling secondhand books. I have not tried this one yet, but it might well be worth a shot. It might be cheaper than Campusbutiken, where the purchases need to cover the costs of running a real bookstore.
