Amazon used to protect books for shipment, sealing them in plastic with a piece of carboard so the book couldn’t move. Now they just shove it in an envelope. Almost all books are delivered with at least minor damage. You’re better off buying a used book.

I buy always used if I have the option.

I was actually sad when Amazon bough Abebooks.com I think this should not have been allowed due to monopoly rights.

Alibris.com is an independent book marketplace like Abebooks. You may recognize some of the bigger vendors on there.
