Customer Reviews

Seems like a great purchase, despite CDs missing

Just received this order and excited to be able to use it. Order was processed quickly and shipped and received quickly. However, the audio CDs that should have been with the book were not present when it arrived. I can work around that, but I think that if there are components missing, that should be noted in the item description. Perhaps that is why it was listed as in acceptable condition (?).

The seller used a misleading picture and description of the book

The seller used a misleading picture and description of the book. According to the description the book should have been Guitar Aerobics Book/Online Audio. The seller even include the picture of the book with the "Online Audio" picture. But the seller sent the Guitar Aerobics Book/2 CDs included, but did not include the actual 2 CDs. I purchased the book SQUARELY to have access to the audio, whether online or CD.
