Has anyone dealt with Brit Books? I had not seen their name referenced as a bookjacker, so I placed an order with them a few weeks ago I'm now feeling skeptical due to

(1.) I placed the order over 2 weeks ago and it's still listed as "Processing"

(2.) I never received an order confirmation email (though order is listed in my online account)

(3.) They have not responded to either of the inquiries I've sent through their contact form over the last 2 weeks.

Has anyone else dealt with them, and if so, how did it go?

Recently seen a couple of posts about teetotalism and books about sobriety. Herewith some of the opposite. Cheers!

Found these at an estate sale. Not sure what to do with them, as that segment of the marketplace is pretty averse to selling anything having to do with recovery...

I am trying to decide whether to return or keep a set of rare books I bought online. They have (confirmed) white mold on the cloth edges of the books, and one of the dustjackets has mold on its interior.

Several helpful people here have advised that I could sterilise and remove the mold, allowing me to keep and enjoy the set. But I've seen other opinions that once a book has grown mold, it is best to just get rid of it or at least keep it forever apart from the rest of one's collection.

I don't have much space in my home for book segregation nor do I have the luxury of a controlled atmospheric environment. I don't know if I would feel comfortable keeping the set even if the visible mold is removed. But it also seems a shame to pass on rare books in otherwise near-mint condition.

I've read the FAQ and have searched through previous posts, but haven't been satisfied with any of the answers I've seen. So I'd like to ask you all: do you keep such books, or just get rid of them?

When I saw books on Amazon US, I find myself shocked a lot. University textbooks in USA has insane price, with skyrocketing shipping fees... Do you guys in the states afford those stuffs?

I looked at a book about international law and it cost $63, so I thought it was expensive, but no. It was average... whoa no wonder why you guys sell those with lower price in Asia....

Let me know if there's a better subreddit for me to be posting this to. I picked up this book from ThriftBooks earlier today, and while I've dealt with my fair share of foxing with books in the past, I really have no idea what this is. It seems too dark and small to be foxing, but also I could just be wrong.

Is this book safe for me to be touching?? It doesn't smell bad at all, but I just feel dirty touching it. I'm sure I'm just overreacting and it's just a bad case of foxing, but I just wanted to make sure!
