Well, every book I bought from them to date has been in excellent condition. They were obviously used, but aside from the occasional library label, there were no tears and the books weren't dog eared at all. Then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so you'll have to judge for yourself when your books arrive.

If it's like that I'd be more than happy. I don't want books that are falling apart, torn covers or missing pages. General wear would be fine.

No, the Marketplace also had the book, which was only $56 + $8 shipping...

The book in question is new.

Their new books seem to be consistently more expensive compared to The Book Depository so I'll rather buy from them when looking for a new copy.

My BWB order has shipped, so now I need to wait 21 business days to see how things turn out.
