I always just use the bookstore websites of the bookstores on campus. They always carry the solution manuals.

If you mean the "teachers" solution manual, then students are not allowed to order them.
We had a Chemical Engineering student expelled from my university for ordering solutions manuals for statics, dynamics, and some other courses. You know how she got caught? The place she ordered the books from called the dean and made an inquiry...

If the textbook is an edition that's a few years old, you can hunt down a teacher's solution manual through used online book stores. Even ebay/half.com will have them but not too often. If it's a new edition, then there wont be much hope in finding a guide.

A friend of mine teaches at a local university and the same thing happened to one of his students. They failed him for the class that he ordered the solution manual from, and expelled him. They told the kid that even if he is readmitted in the future (it's likely that they'd let him back in in a year or so), his transcript will always have a notation about what happened!Originally posted by: Dedpuhl

Professors don't like competition!
Some of the solution manuals of those popular/classic math/science books I've seen were written and published overseas, usually India, Taiwan or Singapore. Check with your foreign buddies.
