      Hamlet's Mill : An Essay Investigating the Origins of Human Knowledge and Its Transmissions Through Myth - great book and great price - thank you very much!I have been buying hard-to-get used books from Better World Books (BWB) for a while now. I also buy (less often) new books which are not that hard to find (like the one above) but at the same or better price than anywhere else.Can't fault BWB, on the contrary, I can only say the best - books arrive on time, well packed and in condition as described.Based on my experience I strongly recommend BWB to anyone.Thanks again,Cheers.

      Would be better if sent in something other than plastic where edges do no get banged up in the mail. Takes away from excellent condition.

      I always go to Better World Books when looking to purchase a used book; they never disappoint. The order usually comes sooner than expected, and always in perfect shape.

      Absolutely smooth and efficient process. Much easier to find what Im looking for in books with Better World than the lowest common denominator selection at the mainstream book outlets.

      Love Better World Books. They have a wide selection of titles at good prices and I would much rather buy from them because of their social mission than the big book retailers.

      I use this service all the time and have never had one bad experience. Shipping is slower than say Amazon but well worth the wait

      Great price and service. Ive shopped better world books frequently and its a great way to find the book you want at a great price. And buying used is an environmentally conscious decision.
