A well-priced textbook in good condition,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Norton Anthology of American Literature: Volume E: 1945 to the Present (Paperback)
I need this for a class coming up in January of 2011 and I didn't consider a new copy worth the price. I was very happy with the price for this used book; it was much cheaper than the new price on Amazon, as well as the new price at my college bookstore.

The Norton Anthology of American Literature: Volume E: 1945 to the Present,
By Alli (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Norton Anthology of American Literature: Volume E: 1945 to the Present (Paperback)
When I ordered this product, it said that it would come within 4-21 days and there was no tracking number! I needed this book for class, and I was freaking out. The book came by day 4! In the description of the product they said that they would ship it off on the next business day and they must have. The book came in great conditions, even though it was labeled as "good".

This review is from: The Norton Anthology of American Literature: Volume E: 1945 to the Present (Paperback)
Nothing special - needed it for class. Be detailed and specific. What would you have wanted to know before you purchased the product? Not too short and not too long. Aim for between 75 and 300 words.
