It is pretty easy to find books and see if they are available.

Merchant Choice

I wanted to take advantage of the sales and my coupon and I needed a few books.

Product Choice

I heard about one book from a Montessori teacher training, another one my parents had a version of it, the other one because it looked beautiful.

I would expect adding a book category breakdown when tapping on a selected book. Something like: Selecting one of Desmond Morris books will show Science > Nature > Behavior or a similar hierarchy.

First time for me buying used books, so we will see how it goes when I get them.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?

Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.

Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.

As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:

Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.

Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.

So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
