Amazon Service (or Lack Thereof), Not Reviews of Book,
By Leslie Henderson (Vancouver, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Feminist Theory Reader: Local and Global Perspectives (Paperback)
I was going to order the newer version (2009) of this anthology because I have the 2003 one. However, after reading about the problems with receiving the correct version, I'll pass. Maybe there should be separate sets of star ratings: one set for the book itself and one set for amazon's service in sending it.

Not what was ordered,

This review is from: Feminist Theory Reader: Local and Global Perspectives (Hardcover)
The book was delivered quickly, but it was not the edition that was ordered. I could tell by the cover of the book. It looks like a "Bait and Switch." When contacted via e-mail about a return or sending the ordered edition, there was no reply. I am not a happy reader now.

Not quite what I thought,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Feminist Theory Reader: Local and Global Perspectives (Paperback)
It did come quickly and was in good condition, but the picture in the advertisement was of the third edition (the one I needed for the class) but in fact I received the first edition of the book. Which my professor (also the editor of the book) said would not do, so at the end I had to go buy another copy at my bookstore. I was very upset that the picture on amazon did not match the book.
