I cannot really comment until I know how the delivery and quality goes. The shopping online experience was fine.

I desired a particular trade paperback, searched for it in google, then purchased it for the lowest price available.
It’s not Amazon, and they had the book I was looking for

I was very disappointed that an item I desperately wanted (Peter Greenaway's film Drowning by Numbers) was available, but when I went to check out, it was no longer available.
The selection is amazing.

I tried to use the coupon as in email. That is only point of dissatisfaction- it is misleading in that no real discount- only if buy a certain amount.

Kind of hard to choose which seller is best. Information needs to be more brief and easier to navigate.
Bought before here.

Great selection of books that I'm interested in. Fair pricing and great user-friendly website navigation. A wonderful source for used books, now that independent bookstores are disappearing from the United States of Amnesia. Thank you
My recent first experience was very satisfactory.

Excellent selection and prices. Comprehensive descriptions / reviews. Easy to navigate website.
Searched for online booksellers and decided yours was the best for my interests.

When buying multiple books from 1 vendor the shipping should be adjusted. 4 books don't cost 18.45 for shipping.

I have received no delays, and the site is easy to use and understandable, almost every product is accessible.
It's not unusual that I don't have to look at other sites.
