The book I ordered was based upon the thumbnail sketch you sent( a time slip sci-fiction
story).The book was a romance novel that bore no resemblance to the information in the sketch. I will be following up on this when I get home tonight.

The books are very affordable
The books are very affordable. One had $1.50 Goodwill stickers on it; the other book was powdery dusty on the outside and slightly warped, but otherwise, books were still readable. No pages missing. I will still buy books from them.

Good condition, as described
Even though the book said it was “acceptable” I thought the condition was good for a 35+ year old book.

I’m disappointed in my most recent order. I ordered some books that were rated as “good” condition. And sure- the binding and cover are in good repair. But when you open the book and the entire thing is underlined in different color of marker, showing the previous owner’s opinion on conflict, setting, and other parts of the story, it is extremely distracting, and I would certainly not call it “good” condition. If it was a “one off” I wouldn’t be so irritated, but it was the two books out of my order so far, maybe more.

Availability of books!
ThriftBooks almost always has the books I am looking for. They usually have multiple books in different conditions that I can choose between. and Finally, the price is always great! It's easy to search plus you give out rewards, which make it fun to look at all the books, a lot of which I'm not familiar.
