The book "An Immense World" was great..
December 24, 2023

I did this survey the other day and it didn't let me finish so I hope it will this time. I have read the book and while it was technical in places I quite enjoyed it. I will not write this again.

No book

I never received my book and was told it was delivered. After following all their suggestions I filled out a missing package firm with USPS. Still no book and no refund.

Book ordering was fine but there are zero reviews om the site. Why do you not show reviews. Also, no one responds to my questions. I asked a few times and no response in weeks. Why no response? Let us see reviews.

God Makes My Little Tail Wiggle
December 22, 2023

I was excited to find the book I wanted at a good price and in like new condition. The delivery took longer than I expected. This was, basically, my only issue with the purchase. Otherwise, I was quite pleased with the experience.

Not as described
January 19, 2024

Book listed in very good condition but there was a large crease across the hardback cover of the book and one of the front cover corners was damaged.
It should have been rated as acceptable and I would have chosen a copy in better condition.
