Terrific prices
Terrific prices, delivery arrived on time, plus a huge selection. The only thing I would recommend is putting in the description if the hardcover book does not come with a dust cover.

Finding a book that speaks to our time is a delight.
I was delighted to find a good copy of a book covering the political maneuvering of the G. W. Bush campaign, a chronicle of the people’s right to know. It is also a capsule of freedom of the press, a right we took for granted and must protect.

Book ordered that said it had a CD--no CD.
I ordered the Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Theory which showed that it had an Audio CD for training. It did not come with a CD--you need to flag things like this--very disappointing.
