    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    I've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.

    Deeply painful to read, but deeply rewarding.

    Best book ever. The cover page wasn't the one I was expecting, was a little disappointed because I wanted the purple cover with her in a rocking chair, specifically but that was only for sentimental reasons. The book is still great and I still remember it all. <3

  • Color Purple Novel Review

    I am enjoying the novel, but I was not expecting the novel to have the previous owners name written all over the book. It’s an awful sight in my library.
