I used to have the 1988 edition of THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARD BIBLE ENCYCLOPEDIA, copyright 1988 edited by Bromley, but I let it go when I retired from active ministry in 2012. I have found in retirement that I could use it often, but Amazon.com had too high a price for this 4 vol. Set. I found VALORE BOOKS through a Google Search of Used, Christian Books, and I got the four volumes for less that $42.00. Three of these volumes are listed in GOOD CONDITION, the other one in VERY GOOD CONDITION. I believe I shall be pleased when these arrive, and I am happy to have found VALORE BOOKS. I hope I can order from you in the future as well.

I tend to always get my books from ValoreBooks.com always the cheapest. Saves me money!
I wish they had cheaper 2-day shipping though.

I never come across lower prices for my textbooks anywhere else. I usually rent but sometimes I can buy them for even cheaper, then sell them back to the website.

If you guys will not buy-back your books, at least return them when you say you will. I am less than thrilled with the bait and switch behavior of you guys.

The quantity link to increase the number of copies of one book would not allow me to add several copies of the same book so I have to pay for double shipping which I find to be very unfair.

Great Prices on a book I need for this coming semester. If the book is in good condition and they ship it quickly, I will definitely use Valore Books again.

Seemed easy enough
March 28, 2017

Well it seemed easy.
Now I just have to wait and hope the book is the US edition, since international editions mixed in, even though they have a different ISBN than I searched for.
It wasn't listed as international, or disclosed as such, so I am hopeful I am set for my class in Death and Dying,,,

I have no problem jumping on this site to order my books. It has been great so far! Also, I love the prices. They have been very low for a number of books that I had to order. I look forward to jumping on again and ordering some more as I go through college. I would like to thank you for your convenience, availability, and cheap prices.
I will keep it in mind for my sons when they go to college too. Thank you again!

I used 2 different browsers and had trouble entering the City/State/Zip during the checkout process. I remember this happening once before, so I just abandoned my order and purchased elsewhere. This time I was able to use an autofill to fill these fields. If not for that, there is no way to click inside of and enter text into, those fields. Should be a quick fix, but I wonder how many others just give up.

OVERALL THIS WAS THE BEST PRICE I LOCATED FOR THE BOOK I WAS TRYING TO PURCHASE. I DID ORDER THE MERCHANDISE. WHILE I WAS NOT HAPPY THERE WAS NO OVERNIGHT SHIPPING THE PRICE WAS A BARGAIN. I AM WATING FOR THE BOOK TO ARRIVE AND HOPE THERE IS ZERO DELAY.

From ny to boston it takes an entire month turn around time to get money back out of these people. Find a local place, the prices would be the same and you get your $ back immediatly. NO. IDEA WHY IT TAKES SO FRIGGIN LONG TO MAIL A CHECK BACK. Seriously one month! It takes 6 hours to drive from ny to boston! Why does it take a month to get money back from these monkeys? DO NOT BOTHER, PLEASE FIND A LOCAL PLACE AND DRIVE THERE YOURSELF do not give these monkeys your business or you will be hasseling them every step of the way to get anything back in your end!

I don't have a physical mailbox at my resident so I had to find someone I knew to send my item to. That would have been fine but it wont even take my P. O. Box information for billing.

Hi there! To input a PO box into our address field, you need to put the street of the post office in the first line. This lets us know what post office you're using. The PO Box number goes in the second line. If you have further questions or would like assistance with this process, let us know!
