They sent me the wrong book entirely and never responded to multiple requests for a refund! Infuriating and I have now contested the charges.

Satisfied customer
Company has good communication. The book was in the condition as described & it arrived quickly. I would buy from them again if they had what I was looking for.

I never fail to find what I'm looking for.
I never fail to find what I'm looking for at really great prices, most recently "The Portable James Joyce." It's like getting four books in one for $5! Free shipping is a plus.

Ordered two books
Ordered two books. One was as described and in good condition, but the other title was not so. I know they are used, but do not describe book as acceptable and it definitely is as not. I would send it back, but needed it for report and had to meet a deadline

I never received my book even though I…
I never received my book even though I paid for expedited shipping. My son needed it for his summer class and had to go without it for over a week. I had to buy it from another seller. I contacted this company over and over about information over my book and only got a generic response about their shipping policy. This is a horrible company and no one should ever buy from them.
