Book was listed as 'very good' condition, but when it arrived the cover had stains, creases and folds, and a small tear on one edge. It was packaged ok and the packaging was not damaged, so this was not something that happened during shipping. I messaged them and they replied quickly and instructed me to initiate a return through eBay. I was refunded the full price in less than an hour. Great customer service!

  • For a class but good reading anyway

    I had to buy this book for my graduate class and it was well written. It gave a good history of American Education. Can't believe it was a short time ago that public education didn't include any minorities.
