I've ordered a good few books from Abebooks.co.uk over the years and many of them have been just fine, with a few glaring exceptions. One had a hole in the back cover and six pages were completely blank (this bookseller can't be found on the site anymore, though of course they may have changed their name), and recently a booked described as 'new' arrived with a tatty dust jacket and black marks on the dust jacket, inside cover and outer edge of the closed pages. I wonder if the absence of a seller review function on the site encourages sellers with poor standards? Shame for the good ones to be tarnished by the poor behaviour of others.
