Would not accept details of new issue credit card even though it had been used successfully before, worked with alternative payment method thankfully.

The payment options are a little misleading. Initially, American Express is displayed as one option. When I went to check out, only MasterCard and Visa were accepted.

Always simply fab. Quick efficient searches, clear results, great service re: getting stuff sent. Such an easy and pleasurable way to stay off Amazon.

I found it difficult to add a new Mast er Card
August 18, 2022
Updated review

I found it difficult to add a new Mast er Card. It is a Debit car d, not a Credit card.
I couldn't cancel the 0754 either.
Also, I can't delete the old address at Palliser Road.
Many thanks.

Previous review

The estimate cost of the shipping was exhorbitant. This is why I stopped the buy repeatedly. Then I noticed that the estimate was provisional and continued. The billing and delivery address were very difficult to e dit and I was unable to delete an old address at Palliser road -moved out 11 years ago and I had to enter the credit card information repeatedly.

Book listed as being in French and yet name of translator into English given in description. Publisher's name confirms it should be in English, but a bit hazy.

I wish there was an easier way to update my Wishlist without having to leave the page. It's inconvenient to have to scroll up and down and switch tabs.

The have most of the things I'm after at a good price (after shipping, something that rules out a lot of places), and shipping times are normally good. Never had any issues as far as I can recal.

I was delighted that you are able to supply a copy. Wasn't sure if I already have an a/c with you. Should you have another copy for sale in the future, do you have an ‘Alert system'? Best wishes, Pat

The checkout process was very lengthy and annoying, I wanted to use PayPal but it wouldn't let me, it wanted my billing address postcode but wouldn't let me use any letters only numbers which isn't possible for a UK postcode.

So much choice at a good range of prices and book conditions. Best second hand book site by far, tried all the better known ones Amazon, Abe and Wob All More expensive and less choice!
