    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    I recently purchased an item from this eBay seller, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.

  • Not valuable for the beginner, intermediate, or expert.

    The transitions feel unconnected and would leave a beginner/intermediate feeling very lost. Much time is spent reiterating the same simple topic, but advanced topics are little more than hinted at. It is not valuable for the beginner, intermediate, or expert. The writer is likely not good at the topic, not good at conveying it, or was hindered in the design. There are many books that are better and cheaper than this. I wish I could be kinder. Save the money and the time. It is not even good as a relaxing bath read.

  • Excellent introduction to SQL

    I really like how the author has been able to break down the subject of SQL into small, comprehensive and easy to understand concepts.
