This store has good selection of books.
The book is used; but is in great condition. I will use this book for my fall college course.

Good service, good book.
This is the book I ordered. It arrived in time for class. Book was slightly banged up but as it will only be used once, that's really not much of a problem. Price was a little higher than expected, but better than paying the full price for a one time use book. The book itself is an interesting read, albeit a tad long winded and somewhat repetitive. However, for the most part, I am primarily satisfied with the service and the product in general.

Don’t judge a book by...
Book was pretty banged up but the info’s that’s important. I’d say you get your money’s worth

enjoyable, yet extremely dry
very informative, yet somewhat dry and hard to stay locked into. I do enjoy this book.

Never again
This rental book was in much worse condition than advertised. That, in combination with the ripoff tactics of the rental terms, ensures that I will NEVER rent from Amazon again. I purchase most of my textbooks so I forgot this one was rented. I received a "reminder" that it was overdue AFTER being charged for an extension. Even though I mailed it back prior to the deadline provided by Amazon, I was charged full price for the book and had to contact Amazon for a refund. They provide only media mail postage, which takes a very long time. Luckily, I did keep copies of the postal tracking numbers. The Amazon rep explained that the entire process is automated. Yes, automated to cause the greatest amount of expense and irritation to the customer. They did issue a refund, but had already mailed the books (there were two in this order) back to me. Now I have the added aggravation of another trip to the post office to return the unwanted books for the second time.In summary:Amazon sends a "reminder" after charging you for the rental extension whereas other companies I have rented from send a reminder prior to the due date.They disregard the fact that their policy states that the POSTMARK DATE is the deadline, not the date that they receive it.They ignored the postmark date, which was prior to the shipping deadline, and charged me the full price for two textbooks that I did not want.The email account they use won't accept replies -- you have the additional hassle of having to go to their website and look for contact information to file a complaint.I now have the added cost and time investment of returning books that I do not want.Sorry Amazon, you get an F on this assignment.

Generally acceptable
The Amazon service was 5 star & the book is prescribed reading for a course, but the alternate use of the masculine & feminine personal pronouns by one contributor has annoyed me to the point of anger. English is a relatively uninflected language with the convention of mainly using masculine gender for the neutral or unknown personal pronouns, with the possible use of "one" or "one's". I am neither so ignorant, nor insecure, as to need tokenistic, patronising misuse of the language by someone who is paid to think; and I don't need to be taught thinking skills by someone so superficial. Philosophy & ethics shouldn't be dictated to by political correctness and equality is not based on tokenism. People seem not to use "one", perhaps it's too RP & formal; usage does bring change but the grammar hasn't formally changed yet - academic writing? I don't think so.
