    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    I recently purchased an item from this eBay seller, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.

    Many peopl;e suffer from sexual addiction, maybe someone close toyou has problems they do not want to talk about, with porn or exter-relationship afaires, even sexual assult or rape as a child, left un-treated or address, can lead to distruction of lives, time in prison and broken homes. Read and the content may suprise you. Not all who are abused become abusers, some continue to be abused, which one are you.

  • Intense info on sexual addiction

    Intense info on sexual addiction. I am a psychotherapist and wonder if this would be good for a client. I believe it will be based on the client themselves if it would.

  • Great Resource For Counseling

    I supervise counselors for licensure, and I have had the privilege of learning as much from them as they do from me! In such an unfortunate circumstance, it is great to have such a resource to help so many people!
