Rare book on Canadian history

Service

I love collecting rare books about Canadian history, eh! So I was pretty pumped when I found this one on AbeBooks. The listing said it was in top-notch condition and it was a good deal too. But when I ordered it, there was a bit of a wait before I got it. I got in touch with customer service, and they were super quick in getting back to me and keeping me in the loop about my order. Even though it took longer than expected, I'm happy with the book I finally got.

Rare book purchase

Service

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.

Recent book purchases

Service

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.

frequent purchases, second-hand books, great service

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.
