Customer Reviews

FROM SLAVERY TO FREEDOM
THIS WAS IN BETTER CONDITIONS THAN WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. IT WAS WELL WORTH IT. IT JUST FELT FOREVER TO GET IT, PROBABLY SINCE I NEEDED IT.

not happy
I got two copies, rather than the one I ordered (and was charged for both!) of this book, which was in terrible condition, the jacket on one copy was crumpled and torn and it had lots of highlighting in it, which I was not expecting. The other copy was in better condition, but the kicker is that it had some sort non-publisher created table of contents and the book was missing pages 292-635 -- which included exactly the information I was looking for when I ordered the book. Both copies were missing these pages!!! So the book are basically worthless to me (an anyone else.)

Grateful
I wasn't too concerned about the quality of this book, although overall it was in good condition for a used textbook. I already placed my order for the textbook because my class was in session and I was in a haste to catch-up. I e-mailed the seller and asked him if it was possible, can he ship my textbook to me express. I'm currently serving in Iraq and it would have taken twice as long to arrive here. He shipped it to me express and I believe I received it in 4-5 days, which is awesome timing for my location......and for that I am grateful. Thanks again!
