ThriftBooks - Reviews and experiences

I've been using this service for a long time and I've always been happy with what I've bought. But the last book I ordered was a letdown. It came with a broken spine, which was surprising because I've never had that problem before. The book is still readable, but it wasn't as good quality as what I'm used to.

I just bought a book from this online store and I was kinda bummed with how it looked when it got to me. It was supposed to be in "very good" condition, but the cover was pretty beat up, more like what I would call "acceptable". I buy books from them a lot, so I expect better quality. This time, it was a bit disappointing for me.

I've been a regular customer at this online bookstore for a while now, and I have to say I'm always happy with the service. The book I got, Julie and Julia, came in perfect shape just like how it was described on the website. The hardcover edition looked like new, and I was so excited to replace my old paperback copy. It was packaged carefully and arrived quickly, so I could start reading it right away. I really like how this online bookstore pays attention to the little things and keeps up with quality control.

Eh, in my books, the content of the one I bought was pretty straightforward and easy to follow, making it a decent starter's guide on mridanga. But I think they could've gone a bit further and talked about the different kinds of mridanga and gave some detailed steps on how to tune 'em. As far as I know, it's pretty important to get the Tilak, Balaram, Madhura, and Clay mridanga tuned to just the right notes before you can really start playing 'em well. If I got it wrong, sorry for any mix-ups.
