Reviews


Great service, only one complaint
The book that I received was in pristine condition other than a few dents/ bent corners of the hardcover. From the way that it was received the packing was also damanged in the same areas as the book. As it can be expected for items shipped to end up slighly damanged, I feel that the book was still in exceptional condition. Very fast delivery!!!

Fast shipping
The book was in great shape, brand new. The shipping was quick. I was pleased.

My advanced physiology book
This book was in pretty good shape when I got it but the edges of the book were bent up a little from the shipping. The shipping was quick and I received it in a timely manner. Thanks for the quick shipping

Came on Time, but Material in Book not as great as expected
The book came packaged and clean (on time). I ordered it in the afternoon (Friday) and received it by Tuesday night. The chapter on neurophysiology is very broad and does not incorporate a lot of the recent findings. The pictures in the textbook are very helpful.
