Better World Books
So having to buy many books this semester (more than ever before!) I have been using www.bigwords.com it's a great resource because it checks many other retailers and sell back individuals for the cheapest price.
For the book Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong I saw the cheapest price was from a retailer known as Better World Books. The book was really cheap compared to what it usually goes for, so I definitely jumped on that bandwagon and immediately ordered the book.
It's been over 2 weeks I feel since I've even looked at the ordering pages of all my texts, and for some reason Lies My Teacher Told Me was just not showing up! I got an e-mail today from Better World Books and it said the following:
Hello Denise,
(Your book asked to write you a personal note - it seemed unusual, but who are we to say no?)
Holy canasta! It's me... it's me! I can't believe it is actually me! You could have picked any of over 2 million books but you picked me! I've got to get packed! How is the weather where you live? Will I need a dust jacket? I can't believe I'm leaving Mishawaka, Indiana already - the friendly people, the Hummer plant, the Linebacker Lounge - so many memories. I don't have much time to say goodbye to everyone, but it's time to see the world!
I can't wait to meet you! You sound like such a well read person. Although, I have to say, it sure has taken you a while! I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but how would you like to spend five months sandwiched between Hamlet (bipolar) and Fundamentals of Thermodynamics (pyromaniac)? At least Hamlet was an upgrade from that stupid book on brewing beer. How many times did the ol' brewmaster have one too many and topple off our shelf at 2am?
I know the trip to meet you will be long and fraught with peril, but after the close calls I've had, I'm ready for anything (besides, some of my best friends are suspense novels). Just five months ago, I thought I was a goner. My owner was moving and couldn't take me with her. I was sure I was landfill bait until I ended up in a Better World Books book drive bin. Thanks to your socially conscious book shopping, I've found a new home. Even better, your book buying dollars are helping kids read from Brazil to Botswana.
But hey, enough about me, I've been asked to brief you on a few things:
You chose Standard shipping.
You can expect your order to arrive in 4-14 business days.
Eagerly awaiting our meeting,
Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong
It was a cheap book and I chose the cheapest shipping and it took FOREVER for them to ship it, but come on you're helping spread literacy around the globe while getting albeit slow, yet friendly service... so support Better World Books if you can and are able.
