I am happy with my purchase, the high quality of the used books and the prompt arrival orders. But I would warn you to be very careful when making your purchases on Amazon. I still do not know what I did wrong, but I ended up ordering some books twice. I desperately tried to stop the shipment, but Amazon does not list a phone number and the online cancelation was in a loop that did not work! Because the shipment ultimatelly ended up in Kingston, Jamaica the cost to return the double ordered books is more than the cost of the books. So I am now left with three books I had NO INTENTION of ordering nor any use for and I can not find a buyer here in Jamaica. I am going to be VERY angry when my credit card bill arrives.
