It was a great buy. The book came within days of ordering it and it was in great condition. I would buy from this person again.
Brand New.
Customer Rating:
The book was in brand new condition! Couldn't ask for a nicer book. Same condition as the brand new one, only cheaper.
Poor Service
Customer Rating:
I can't even give a review because I NEVER EVEN RECEIVED THIS PRODUCT! I have written to the sender, who has never responded. This is a textbook I need for class; and I have to borrow a classmate's book because mine never came. It's been three weeks past the date the sender said it would arrive. I cannot recommend Gazillion Books because of the poor customer service.
Informative
Customer Rating:
This book is very informative about nutrition. I received this book in less than a week and was very impressed by how new it looked.
