Received this book and questioned whether or not is was new. It was not in a shrink wrap and both the front and back covers were full of scratches. ..looked used. For the money paid, I expected better quality upon delivery. Returned it the same day.
The book arrived looking like a dog had chewed the corner of it. Pages were stuck together and the entire right top corner was destroyed. Paying that much for a book you'd expect it to come in good condition.
The book confirmed some questions I had. It is a good reference book when you are in your survey window
