neutral comment by Carmen on Jan 20, 2024

Very dissatisfied because the book I ordered on December 25, 2023, still hasn't arrived.

neutral comment by dddd on Jan 15, 2024

Book was listed as fine, however the pages had marks, rips, and the back cover was bent. Dust jacket wasn't included.

neutral comment by CW on Jan 10, 2024

Description did not mention this was a publisher's draft copy of the book. Might describe the quality as "fair," not as "very good." While I don't mind worn-in books or draft copies, I feel this was overpriced given the circumstances.

neutral comment by Scott P on Dec 31, 2023

The book was described as "Very Good" condition and was far from it. It arrived with no "cover" or "dust jacket" (it's a hardback), but much worse, there are at least 30-40 very noticeable dog-eared pages that mar the use and the appearance of the book.

I live in Windsor , Ontario , Canada . I would appreciate an update on the delivery . I do not live in the United States. Why does it say "out for delivery " in the US ???

neutral comment by Janet M on Dec 13, 2023

They sent the wrong book Customer service was not clear about if they would cover return shipping I had to contact them a week after they received the book to check status of my refund. I did get the refund for shipping but not the best customer service.

I wanted a hard cover!

neutral comment by jasbro on Oct 24, 2023

Received the same title, but nowhere near the book I ordered.

neutral comment by Kelsey B on Sep 22, 2023

Condition of this book was NOT described accurately, NOT worth the almost $15 I paid for it. There are so many notations in it that it's hard to read and I won't be able to write my own in it, which makes it practically useless. Tons of sticky notes too.

neutral comment by Mark P on Sep 18, 2023

Came fast and well packed BUT was a Book of the Month copy -- different cover, paper, binding, margins, and spine than the original book I'd thought I was buying. Would have chosen another vendor if the description had made that clear.

neutral comment by William G on Sep 15, 2023

BOOK SENT WAS NOT BOOK ADVERTISED. Much older edition. Condition of book adequate, but it arrived in a flimsy plastic bag. Ridiculous. Cannot, however, complain about the minimal cost, though I would never order an expensive book from this seller.

neutral comment by Jill S on Jun 20, 2023

Ordered 3 books from 3 sellers paying same shipping fee on 6/3. One arrived on 6/12, one on 6/16, this seller--6/20. Technically within range--allowing extra day for Juneteenth but still eight days later than the first. To me, that says something.

neutral comment by dei on Jun 11, 2023

Actually the book is not at all FINE. It is, at most, Fair. 90%+ of the pages are highlighted. Notes on some pages. I only buy books that are in GOOD or LIKE NEW condition so just wanted to let you know.Disappointed. Don't care to return b/c of Shipping

neutral comment by Zoran S on Apr 11, 2023

I realize this book was only $1.99, but it was in excellent condition, before shipping. It was put in a thin plastic bag with no padding and got its corners bumped. An excellent condition book ruined by poor packaging.

neutral comment by robert w on Apr 3, 2023

I was very dissapointed, Description said Hardcover but I got a paperback please be honest. With the Description do better.

neutral comment by Philip S on Dec 16, 2022

The book arrived on time and in excellent condition on the outside. The description, however, stated the pages were unmarked, except for the cover pages. In fact there was considerable underlining and inked marginal notes on pp18-55 of the book.

neutral comment by TERRY B on Nov 26, 2022

Book contains handwriting within pages so it is useless.

neutral comment by Alain H on Oct 29, 2022

Item as described. Arrived within specified time.

neutral comment by jane t on Oct 22, 2022

I have not received the book. It was to be delivered by Oct. 16th. thank you. Jane Tamarkin

neutral comment by Terri W on Aug 9, 2022

I would not call this book "very good", as it was listed. Listing is correct in the fact that the pages are unmarked, but front cover is not in good shape. Many creases on the cover and the back cover corner is bent up and separating. But price was good.

neutral comment by Alain H on May 10, 2022

Sold by "Thriftbooks-Reno," but shipped from Atlanta GA. Arrived last day of shipping estimate, shipped via OSM. I am unimpressed by shipping, therefore. Item WAS in as-described condition, though. I may not deal with this vendor again.
