Annoyed as they are all ex-library books: which the Amazon "partner" did<br>
not mention in his/her description. I did not pay a lot, and these are<br>
all fine "reading copies", but given a choice between a ex-library book<br>
with stickers, mylar wrap and stamps and things inside...and a actual<br>
"new" copy without any of that, I'll choose the new one.<br>
Am I a cranky book collector or what?<br>

Were they sold as new, or "as good as new" condition? If you bought books listed under the "used" tab, you could do a lot worse.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
