• Is the writer (Dostoyevsky) being vague here or am I the one misunderstanding?

  Expanding the full information for the paperback copy, I see the publisher to be Digireads.com Publishing. To be honest, I would not buy a book from such a publisher.

I look for good, used copies most... - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago

  That's interesting... I ran into similar behaviour once on abebooks.com where the dealer listed a book at a price and then ordered the book on my behalf from a second dealer.

• Has anyone else noticed this when buying used books online?

  I read a lot and buy quite a bit of used books for myself and to give away. I have waaay more problems with orders with Catholic bibles and books from the major online used booksellers than non-religious book orders. Has anyone else run in to this? Sometimes they'll process refunds or returns and other times they refuse. They'll send completely different books, not send all of the books, or send damaged ones. I've... - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago
