SuzySparkle Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I ordered a used copy from an Amazon seller with the listing being "hardcover." However, no one had pictures of it, and the book I got is a stiff cover but is not a hardcover. The seller also listed the book as "Like New," and it is not. However, the price was reasonable even among lesser listings so I plan to keep it and rate them accordingly for their overly generous assessment. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Our copy of the actual text is hardcover; the student and teacher workbooks/"pages@ are softcover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Yes, the copies of the textbook volumes 1 & 2 I have are both hardcovers. The Intermediate World History A student pages is a paperback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzySparkle Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 The book I received is a textbook titled The Human Odyssey, Volume 1: Prehistory Through the Middle Ages, but it is a softcover book. When I looked at the K12 site, it showed only one hardcover purchase option. If your text is hardcover like the K12 book and the book I received is not but appears to be the same otherwise, I just wonder from where it came. It doesn't matter except that I ordered a hardcover book and received something else. I just don't want the seller to say "this is the only version of this book" when I make contact. Plus, the price I paid should be lower if there IS a hardcover since I wasn't comparing apples to apples. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzySparkle Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Also, I ordered the two other guides as well. They are coming softcover with a plainer blue front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samiam Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Mine is hardcover..same exact title as yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzySparkle Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Ok. Found on ebay the hardcover in excellent condition and including the clean Student Pages for what I paid for a paperback. I'm sending the other one back. He listed it as a Like New hardcover and sent me a good used condition paperback for the same price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
