Recent book purchases
I recently bought some books and had a bit of a mixed bag experience. Some folks were real pros and provided top-notch service, but others didn't quite meet my expectations. There was this one seller though, who went above and beyond with their customer service. They actually gave me a refund and a sweet little apology note because some of the book's pages were messed up. It might seem small, but it really made me feel good about the whole purchase. Then there was another seller who blew me away with how quickly they delivered the brand new book I ordered. Overall, I had pretty different experiences with each seller, but most of my purchases left me feeling pretty happy.
Sheet music purchase
I just bought some sheet music that I needed, and it was supposed to come with a CD. The description said it was in 'very good' condition with minimal use, clean pages, and an intact spine. However, when I got it, I was let down because it wasn't as good as they said. The corners were all bent and floppy, there was someone's name written in pen inside, and there were lots of pencil scribbles on the pages. I know used sheet music can have some markings, but this was way more than they mentioned. It took me a while to erase all the pencil lines, which wasn't what I was expecting from the listing.
Book purchase
I just bought a book online and I gotta say, I was really happy with how it all went down. At first, I was a bit unsure because of some bad reviews, but I thought, why not give it a shot since the book was only £2.99 with free shipping. Well, I was pleasantly surprised when the book showed up in perfect condition just a few days later. The packaging was solid and the book looked brand new. I really liked how quick and good quality the whole thing was. I'll definitely be using this service again next time.
frequent purchases, second-hand books, great service
I've bought a lot of used books on this site and most of the time, I've been really happy with what I got. Just so you know, AbeBooks isn't the one selling the books, they just link you up with different second-hand stores across the country. But I've found that they're pretty good at what they do. Sometimes the books aren't in the exact condition they were described as, but all in all, I think it's a solid service and my go-to for older books.
Book in "very good" condition
First time using AbeBooks. There were multiple suppliers for the book I wanted, so I chose one based on the listed condition. However, the book I received wasn't in the condition they said it was in, with crease lines on the covers and spine. Just a heads up to be careful with the condition listings on there.
Rare book purchase
I finally found that rare book I've been searching for months! The service was amazing, and everything went really smoothly. I'm so pleased with my purchase.
