FWIW, I use Amazon for nearly everything as well. They seem to be pretty reliable. But will have to be careful in the future not to pay $180 for a book I could have purchased for 23 cents! One thing though, I have ordered books before that were drop shipped from a different entity. Not sure what's up with that. I can't remember if the book was used or not but probably was now that I think of it.
