I LOVE that books are reserved in the cart for 24 hours! The free shipping option was a bit confusing though.
Generally good prices - also good coupon code which mostly covered shipping cost

Would really appreciate it if shipping prices were included in overall prices. It'd make the cart price a lot less scary.
It had the books I needed at a great price!

The option of guest check out should be just that, even if there is an account established for an email address.
I can usually find what I am looking for and from a large option of book sellers.

The coupon never appeared. If it's not going to be accessible please don't offer it. Otherwise the shopping was relatively easy.
