Books were fine and in decent shape for their age. To say service was bad, however, would imply that there was any at all. Ordered my books in early August. Heard nothing for a month! Then got email notifying me of tracking numbers and items shipped. Checked the #s, for tracking to only find out that they did not exist. Emailed the company stating the problem and copies of the order and tracking #s. Got nothing for nearly three months. Then someone asked me how my order went in November. Again, I described by problem. and after three more weeks and a short "I'll check into it" reply. I finally got my books after 3 1/2 months. If you are REALLY looking for a certain book it might be worth it otherwise I'd pass if I were you.
