This is an updated review. Addendum at end.

I've shopped for years and spent $1000s with Amazon.com. More than once I've received soiled or damaged books; more than once there have been order snafus. While in the beginning, i.e. Amazon's...

Pros: Wide range of products, low shipping, great customer service

The first time I tried Amazon.com was when I had a gift certificate I had won from another website. I thought since I had some "free" money, I would go to Amazon.com and see what they had to offer. I was surprised to see the many items for sale at this...
