Title: Damaged book
Review: This was supposed to be a new book. However it was a damaged book, with the spine end crushed and the publishers damaged book mark on it. (They still offer it on Amazon and describe it as "new, great condition.")I contacted the seller - Vana - who first said it was a "bargain book" although that was not specified on the site. However, the Amazon definition of a bargain book does not include this type of damage: "Bargain books are new but could include a small mark from the publisher and an Amazon.com price sticker identifying them as such. ...The slight mark or stamp that may be present on the edges of a bargain book's pages is an industry's identification that it is an overstocked book and is not to be sold at the full price. Bargain books are not used, previously-read, defective, or inferior in any way." Next Vana told me the book was in fact "new" even though it was damaged.They did offer to let me return the book, but did not offer to pay postage.
Is the review positive or negative?
