They may have been used in a book group, number? Like you, I cannot imagine wanting to write or scribble in any book. hmm There are guidelines on Amazon for the seller to follow when putting their books up for sale - maybe when you review your purchases you can say about the state they were in?

The description should have warned you of that. hmm

I've been very lucky with market-place sellers' books, but I try to find one with "excellent condition", or at least "very good".

I`ve recently started to buy used books from Amazon to save a bit of money. No complaints until now, and it`s not Amazon`s fault, but why do some people feel the need to cross out what the author has written, and write in their own words instead? The book I`m reading at the moment had no end for the first 200 or so pages, once a whole paragraph had been crossed through! Then it went 200 pages without any, but they`ve started again now, it`s most aggravating!
