Based on my first experience with this means of purchasing books, I have the following observations:
1) price is great 2) service / delivery sucks Don't be in a hurry when you use this subsidiary of e-bay. from the postmark to my hands was about a week, but the postmark is two weeks after I placed the order and the order was accepted. you have no choice for shipping. media mail ( "media" is apparently Eskimo for "dog sled via the north pole" ) is the only option. reading the site, I see that comments from other customers are all over the board. about equal good and bad. the bad all revolve around turnaround time. I chose half.com because they claimed to have the book in stock at the time I was ordering. Other places stated no availability. I suspect a part of the problem with the particular book I ordered is that is it is newly released, and the seller ( some small shop in New Jersey ) accepted my bid thinking they could get the book through distribution and found they had to wait for the release. for my money, bookpool is still the way to go.
