Saved money and my class!
October 3, 2023

My class books were not available at my campus bookstore. In a frantic search, I was able to find your site and rent the book for my class, rather than purchasing it for a large amount!

Update: This seller has been very responsive and offered a compromise. I would buy from them again.

I would have rated the purchase higher but I felt the condition of the book was misrepresented. It was described as "Very Good" but it was in poor shape (the covers were falling off and had some water damage). I would have gone with another seller if I had known.
