    Purchased and quickly cancelled order. The seller monitors messages and cancelled the order before it shipped with a full refund. Honest seller, good prices, and excellent customer service. I would reconsider purchasing from this seller. A++

    Unfortunately the book I received was in bad shape and was a different edition than was shown in the listing, however, my experience with the seller was excellent! I reached out requesting a refund and very quickly received a very professional and friendly reply and an immediate refund. Based on this experience I would recommend buying from this seller!

    Book lacked dustcover (which is okay for good but not mentioned in the listing, which showed a dust cover) but had stickers that would not come off on the actual cover of the book (which is not okay) - careless damage that could have been avoided. However, the seller proactively refunded me without my asking, which I hadn t expected. They clearly care about customer service and doing a good job. They ve earned my trust and another chance.
