Customer Reviews

This website will lie to you to trick you into buying books with library stickers

I bought a copy of this book that, according to the website, did not have library stickers. The copy I received had library stickers. This is infuriatingly inappropriate and scummy. Disgusting behavior. I hope the person or people responsible for this spontaneously catch fire and have it spread to everything they own.
