Title: Beware of Buy-back Program
Review: I purchased this book as the required text for an ornithology class. I'm sure the book has some interesting information, but I did not find it useful. It is a bit out of date, at a minimum in the area of taxonomy. I did not open the book more than once, and it sat on my shelf for the entire course.My major complaint is now that I have sent the book back for a trade-in (at 1/2 the original value), I am told that the item is no longer in 'good' condition. It might be assumed that if an item is purchased in 'good' condition, and not used, then it could be resold in 'good' condition. This is not necessarily true.Beware of the buy-back program. Do not be lured into thinking that you will be able to recover purchase costs with a trade-in.
