Excellent

Review by Awilda Moreno, 2010-02-12

I usually do a price comparison before I purchase my books and Amazon always gives me the best savings.
This was a fantastic buy! I received a brand new book within 1 week and saved about $30, it doesn't get better than that.

slow ship and bad condition

Review by N. Segneri, 2008-07-25

I Do Not recommend this seller!

The text book I bought was suppose to be shipped from San Francisco to Santa Cruz, and it took 2 weeks! One of the main reasons I bought from this seller was because it should have taken 2 days max to get it. I could have driven to San Fran in an hour and half and gotten the book!

The seller was somewhat responsive to my shipping problem and offered to try and track the book and if it didn't show up by a certain day then a refund would be discussed. Well the book showed up the day before that refund discussion was suppose to happen.

The book however was not in "Great" condition as advertised! When the book finally arrived it was extremely apparant that the book had gotten soaking wet, which may have been from the Postal service but not really sure. The packaging and the book was all damp when it arrived. As the book as dried out as you can imagine all the pages are now warped. The book is also very highlighted and has writing in the margins, which is not was I would expect for a "Great" condition used book. I've bought other "great" condition used books without a speck of highlighting in them and that was what I expected!

After receiving the book 2 weeks later and being dissappointed in the condition of it, I e-mailed the seller and got absolutely NO response back! So thanks a bunch for being a caring seller who advertises "great" condition books that take over 2 weeks to get!

A great text book

Review by Anna Baldacchino, 2008-05-03

This is a textbook that I need for one of my course for a degree that I am reading in Child and Family Studies. Unlike many other textbooks, this book is worth reading. It is full of very current and updated information and covers a broad spectrum of family violence. A good buy indeed.
