I ordered a new hardback book from Abe Books a couple of weeks ago. I paid $40.29 for this book, including shipping.
It was NOT new - there was a previous owner's book label inside the front cover. I just don't call that new.
It is also a book that came from a Book Club, meaning that the book is a smaller size than a regular book, the paper is of inferior quality and the binding is cheap, therefore the book does not wear well. Book Club publishers charge much less money for books than Regular publishers. There was absolutely no indication of this at the order site, just as they claimed that this book was new. I would never have paid the amount for this book that I did had I known. I will never recommend them, and certainly will never order from them ever again.
