- 0***k (14)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe condition of the item was accurate. It arrived in a timely manner. Fair value. A few of the stickers placed on the cover will no come off easily unfortunately. I would buy books from this seller again in the future.
- b***r (410)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseClear and clever book -- I appreciate the need for the later versions of this book, but most people will have plenty of fun learning how speakers and plumbing works -- most of the tech developments of the past 20 years are over my head anyways! :P

Highly Recommended!, Thank you very much!
- v***v (2057)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough 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.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI'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.
