I've been searching for a place where I can buy rare books online and AbeBooks seemed like the perfect answer. While the selection is wide and the sellers seem promising the actual experience is a different story. Yes, I found the book I wanted but it arrived weeks late and in worse condition than listed. Communication was barely there. There was not much help from customer service. Unfortunately, the inconsistency from seller to seller makes the whole thing feel more like a gamble than a guarantee.
