The day I got the book in the mail, I had to tape the seams because pages were coming out. There is some sort of red stain on the bottom of it and the cover, as well as, the back cover are very worn.
It was a pretty interesting book. It was organized well and I was surprised to see one of my other professor's research in it.
Bought this for a class, was well written and had lots of important information about the US healthcare system.
Prompt delivery bought this for a class and was definitely informative
