Refer-a-nce?,
By Thomasina Coverly (Arcadia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Book of U.S. Postal Exams and Post Office Jobs: How to Be a Top Scorer on 473/473-C/460 Tests and Other Postal Exams to Get a Post Office Job (Paperback)
I suppose it is a bad sign when a reference book misspells the word "reference" on its cover... This book is every bit as sloppy as that first impression would suggest: I found two typos within three tests. The REAL reasons to steer clear of this book are deeper but there is no sense in your finding out what they are. There are better books out there.

Softcover book not hardcover,
By Protectus Envirnmentus "Crying Earth" (North Carolinia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Book of U.S. Postal Exams and Post Office Jobs: How to Be a Top Scorer on 473/473-C/460 Tests and Other Postal Exams to Get a Post Office Job (Paperback)
The book is fine but despite what title says it is softcover. At the time I purchased this book it said it was hardcover and it is not. After returning the item to exchange for a hardcover thinking they just made a shipping error I was sent another soft-cover book. I did a little research and this book doesn't come in hardcover format. The amazon.com people were nice though and apologetic. A big hassle though and I was irritated that when I tried to contact about making a correction on their website I got some form letter saying that the correction couldn't be substanciated. First time I have ever had trouble with them though. But the return people were nice.
