Message: <blockquote data-quote="Asmor" data-source="post: 3783370" data-attributes="member: 1154">Just wanted to let everyone know about the books I ordered...Ordered Sept 12. I've received 10/11 books already.The first book was Monday (Sept 17), Stronghold Builder's Guide from abookarama. The delivery estimate was Sept 20th-Oct 4th, so 5 day shipping is pretty sweet. A little wear and tear was mentioned in the description, but the cover of the book was pretty badly beat up (it's a soft cover, and apparently used), and though it's still bound I'm worried about the binding. That said, well worth $0.01+$3.99 shipping.Yesterday (the 18th) I got the 9 books I ordered from best_bargain_books3. All were in pristine condition, not even dented corners like I sometimes get from new books even direct from Amazon. I did a brief check for remainder marks and didn't see any last night, but I've since noticed a small red dot on the bottom of the book I took to school with me today, so they probably all have them. It was mentioned in the description that they may have been remainder marked, though, so that's fine. Sharn: City of Towers came with an audio CD, and it too was in pristine condition. Only thing worth noting is that most of the books had stickers on them... about 80% of the stickers came off easily and without leaving any gunk, but there were a couple that I didn't dare pull off because they look like the sort that causes sticky nightmares. Each was about 1"x1.5", and I'd guess they were put there by whoever best_bargain_books3 bought them from since they don't match the other stickers which were on all the books.Still awaiting one book from smokymtnbooks, and I don't think they've even shipped yet, but keep in mind the delivery estimate is Sept 20th-Oct 4th, so it's not like they're late... yet.</blockquote>
