Damaged book
April 13, 2023

I received the book with marks on it. I thought that it was common to rented books. I did not report back. After the return, they charged me an additional amount due to those marks. I don't even own markers with those colors. Do not rent from them. Even if you rent, look for damages and report it.

I've read dozens of books on the subject over three decades and Dark Persuasion is one of my favorites as it explains historical backgrounds and cognitive analysis.
It's very readable and discusses modern social media as a force to be considered.
Thank you

Book ordering
March 13, 2023

Well done, friends! And insisting I enter at least 50 characters severely limits the number of responses you get. Cheeze.

I paid for priority shipping. My order was shipped via regular shipping. It took longer than expected as a result and arrived after the school term began. I tried contacting the seller through AbeBooks, and they never responded. I eventually contacted them through the BooksRun website. It took probably 6 weeks (I've deleted the emails) to get them to refund the cost of the priority shipping. It was usually a week or more between responses.

3 stars because the product itself was fine, I did eventually get refunded the priority shipping cost, and the order technically arrived within the expected delivery window. The delivery window was quite long, however, and when they've truly shipped via priority shipping in the past, orders have arrived much faster.

I had to drop a class and wanted to return the book I just got and no one got back to my request until I was out of the full refund return window.

Book wasn't in promised condition.
April 12, 2023

The book was warped and wouldn't life flat. I don't think this should be considered "Good" condition.

Fortunate, but much to be desired.
March 13, 2023

Having ordered my textbook through a third-party distributor, it is difficult to give an effective valuation. My book arrived in a timely fashion and the quality was mostly maintained. I ordered new and this was reflected. However, the last seven pages and cover appeared to have been sliced through, possibly when shipment box was opened. Greived by this, I still don't know whom or at what point responsibility should be accreditted.
