I expected it the book to be used, however I didn't expect there to be used/rental stickers all over it, covering a significant amount of the cover. I'll take a hair dryer to the stickers to see if I can get them off without tearing the cover, but when buying it, I expected "used, normal wear" to only be normal wear not bold statements that its used and previously rented on all sides of the cover. I purchased used textbooks in much better condition for cheaper from other sellers and will most likely not use this seller again if I'm able to avoid it.
