Latin Breviary I bought Latin Breviary from Germany. It came with the unacceptable condition. I returned it the German seller who replied that it came to the custom office and he has no car to pick up. And Returned book to me again!!! Wow, the the seller returns returned book to the buyer and keeps my $200. The customer service closed on my request.

I bought a study book for my Granddaughter I bought a study book for my Granddaughter. The order was via Mispah Books in Surrey, UK, and the book was sent from New Delhi. It arrived around 2 weeks sooner than expected, was very well packaged and is exactly what I ordered. I don't always give reviews but since I had read some negative reviews about Abe Books which made me feel a little worried about my expensive purchase I decided a good review was very well deserved. I am thrilled with the purchase and my Granddaughter was very excited to receive the book.

Described as a new book, but is a used book The seller LibraryMercantile from Humble, TX, U.S.A. described the book as being new, but it is a used book. Being in good condition doesn't compensate for lying about what you're selling.

Horrible Company AbeBooks is an amateur website with no oversight and incompetent staff. I was shipped a $200 book via the cheapest possible method, resulting in the book being thrown on the ground in front of my house and lost/stolen. AbeBooks made no effort to use signature-on-delivery. When I contacted them, the representative was indignant and uncooperative.

My experience is likely unique My experience is likely unique. Aside from the slow delivery, the book arrived jammed into a bag that was too small for the book. When I attempted to remove the book, the dust cover was torn because the bag was as tight as a second skin around the book. Nothing can be done because the damage is my doing, however, it's also not OK the way the book was packaged for shipment.
