"This certainly goes for such items as books. Thousands are listed here but most come off as 'remainders', ex-library or flea market or yard sale or liquidation items."

If people want NEW books, they go to the BIG RIVER site or to their local Waterstones or WH Smith - I would say that this is really (at present) not the right place for 'off the shelf' books
