Love ordering my books from - I do it and then know I don't have to worry about it anymore - they will be here when promised, are guaranteed and then they take them back at the end - Awesome! My teacher actually wrote this book, which I found out after class started - pretty weird.

When I first received this book, even though it was shrink-wrapped but when I unwrapped it, it had sticky adhesive residue on the front. It was almost hard to remove. Other wise a great compact book to carry instead of the big textbook.

Bought it for a class I'm taking in school. It came fast but I wish I waited for a better price.

As with any text that you need for a course, you may not always love it, but this text will do what you need it to.
