Since college books are costly, I am planning to bring books from other country. Is this legal?

I found that college books are really costly. Each semester I will need at least 5/6 books which will cost me at least $400 even they are used. So I am planning to make my friend over an Asian country to send the photocopy versions of the same books which are, in amount of dollars, quite cheap. In that case that would cost me only $40 instead of $400. But is there any copyright issues with it? I will use the books only for my personal use and not for resell.Since college books are costly, I am planning to bring books from other country. Is this legal?
They are several websites that sell used or discounted textbooks that would not cause you to violate copyright laws.

Yeah, it's illegal, but whatever it takes, right? A guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do.
It's illegal. Copyright laws are international.

It doesn't matter what kind of use you are using it for, you are "depriving the copyright owner of profit", which is the intention of the copyright law. Sorry buddy.Since college books are costly, I am planning to bring books from other country. Is this legal?
It is not legal, just dont show your professors -wink-
