Never heard of him, but if people have taken the trouble to complain about a seller online, I'd avoid doing business with them.

I can comment on that seller specifically.

More often than not, if I put an expensive book on Amazon, any_book is one of those who quickly, magically, and expensively has another copy up for sale.  Their game is fairly obvious.  Those who play with them deserve whatever they get.

Bascially what every person has said about any book is correct.  They are not a bookseller per se, they are more of a fullfillment center.  They price their "inventory" much higher than anyone else basically betting that if they get an order, they will find it cheaper from another source.  I should use the word inventory loosely, as I don't believe they actually hold any inventory at all.  It's funny how you find one of a kind books that have no listings on Amazon for a year, and you list one, sure enough the next day Any Book will have one for $100 more than yours.  

I don't believe they are a pirater or bootlegger, and judging by their feedback numbers, they are very sucessful at executing their strategy.  

Bottom line, I would avoid using them unless it's at a last resort, and even then I would bet you will probably end up being disapointed.
