Quite Pleased,

This review is from: Media, Audiences, Effects: An Introduction to the Study of Media Content and Audience Analysis (Paperback)
Book came just like they said they would. Shipping was about a week, which is fast enough for me! I was impressed. Ordered other books at the same time from 2 different sellers at the same time, and one completely screwed me, the other wasnt exactly what it said, but still good service.
Definitely recommend this seller. Thank you from a poor college student! :)
