Ordered 3 books, second hand but good condition and great service and delivery. Highly recommend.
A physical book is best.
Advertised a book as being in Very Good condition. Pages were literally falling out of it - not attached to the spine at all and the cover was beaten up and somewhat folded, so even if they hadn't noticed the loose paged it shouldn't have been listed as Very Good.
I contacted them about it, and they said they'd give me a refund if I shipped it back, despite me giving them a picture of the pages separated from the book. Why do they need the book back? Presumably to try to scam another customer with it.
Finally, they agreed to refund me 25%, which I accepted to avoid the PITA of returning the book and to avoid them using it to scam yet someone else, which they clearly intended to do else why would they want an unsaleable book back?
Further, they told me "Please remove the return request, so we may refund you correctly" which is the height of scamming. No, I won't abandon the only protections I have prior to getting the refund.
Avoid this company. They lie in their product descriptions, send you worthless junk, and have abyssmal customer service.
Always help full and send my purchase of books with in the time limit stated on the invoice. Great value for money, new or second hand books.

This is a review of the paperback edition, published March 2010.
The setting for this book is the Government Code & Cypher School, better known as Bletchley Park. 'Colossus' describes Bletchley's success against a more advanced and more secure German cypher machine than Enigma, which Bletchley codenamed 'Tunny'. The production of this book was only made possible after British Intelligence declassified a crucial 500 page wartime report in June 2000.
From 1942 Hitler and the German High Command in Berlin relied increasingly on Tunny to protect their communications with Army Group Commands across Europe. And Colossus? This was the world's first large scale electronic computer built in 1943, whose function was central to Bletchley's attack on Tunny. The name was apt; it weighed approximately a ton, was the size of a small room, and by the end of the war in Europe in May 1945 ten more of these Colossi had been built.
This book is a veritable goldmine of information, with the thoughts of 31 contributors distilled into 26 chapters, and for those wishing to dig deeper there are also 12 technical appendices. I was pleased to see that the contribution of the Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS) and the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) to Bletchley's war effort has been duly recognised in this book.
Thanks for your review!
Every book or cd I wanted to find is here, quality brilliant, delivery 1st class and the ability to sell back is a really good idea

Answer: We started in 2002 with a mission to find used books new homes. A lot has changed since then as we've expanded into new countries and new products, so we wanted a new name which reflects who we are now. Lots of our customers and fans have already shortened our name to Wob, so it made sense to choose this for our new name. For us, books will always be our first passion, but now we are so much more! By changing our name to Wob, we're keeping true to our heritage & changing for the future. Thanks for your feedback, we will pass it on to the Brand team. Thanks, Wob
