You can get used books that cheap!. It's not a scam, but you might get books that aren't in the best condition!. I buy all my books from amazon!. I don't like buying used books, because I am picky about how my books look!. You can get new books real cheap on there!. Just make sure you read the condition the book is in!. They normally give a description!. If you can get a book you like for cheap and it's in good shape, do it while you can!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not that I'm aware of!. I've never paid 10 cents for a book on amazon, but used booksellers list books on there for pretty low prices!. You could go to a used bookstore and find books really cheaply, as well!. Used books generally aren't worth that much!. Every book I've ever bought on there has looked great, and it's been what I ordered!. Just make sure you check out the seller's ratings, and you should be fine!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I really doubt it!. I've bought books there for years, both new and used, for school and for leisure, and have only had a problem (I didn't receive a book), to which amazon replied very quickly and shipped out another copy promptly!. I definitely do not think it's a scam :) !.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Always check the shipping and handling!. Most ten cent books mean they're making their money off the handling!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No it isn't!.
Books that cheap are usually just in bad condition!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've bought lots of books from Amazon and have never had any trouble!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
