Customer Reviews

A hardcover listed as "Good" but full of underlining and writing on the pages

I often buy used books online, from Thiftbooks and other sites. When a book is listed as in "GOOD" condition with no other notes, I assume it may be a bit worn, the cover jacket may be a bit frayed, etc. This book is full of handwritten notes - in the margin and between the lines of text. A few pages were folded vertically and those pages had ALOT of writing. I find it very distracting to have other people's notes in a book and I would not have bought this copy if it had neen reported with the condition of the book Will not buy from them again.
