That said, my recent purchase from them has been fine with only a couple of errors.
Their more recent books are dramatically better than the early ones, and they're to be congratulated in releasing well over 1000 back-list SF and fantasy books, many of them classics. They've released pretty much the complete works of authors such as Harry Harrison, Gordon R. Dickson, Poul Anderson, Gregory Benford, and many, many others.

They are also extremely responsive when it comes to fixing reported errors, and that's a plus plus in my book.
