Odd non-response from dealer
I learned of a textbook used at a major university. Wondering about
the subject of the textbook, I searched bookfinder.com to seek a prior edition and to consider whether I might want to enroll. I posted an inquiry to an alibris.com dealer, using Alibris' form. What I got back was not a response, but a request to post my query to the dealer's website. Doesn't Alibris forward my message plus the dealer's listing? Am I really supposed to hunt up the listing all over again in order to repeat my question? David Ames |

David Ames It is one thing to ask a dealer about customery bookselling matters, such as condtition, edition, etc. But if you were talking about having the seller tell you about the contents of a textbook so you could "consider whether [you] might want to enroll," you may have been asking a wee bit too much. After all, the person is a bookseller, not a college counselor. [Memo from the upstairs office.] |
