I always wondered why no one seemed to rant on the condition of books when buying them from people. I was worried that it was only the people who came into my bookstore that lost all common sense. I work at a bookstore buying books and get all those classic examples of terrible conditions. Books with mold, falling apart in sections, soaking wet, books held together by masking tape/duct tape or littered with more post it/sticky notes than there are pages, Books covered in lotion at least I was hoping it was lotion..... And I get the "I bought it that way....." and they expect me to accept it and still take it! And the main customer base is students and professors from a prestigious university!! Seriously? Yes!
