Customer Reviews

This is a paralell edition of the true edition !
It is a look alike edition of the book I needed for my class. I hope to receive the correct edition so I can return this book I currently using. It's not what I ordered!!! Please contact me asap so we can fix this situation whether very disturbing for me as I may fail my class as a result of receiving the wrong texbook...And the book came very late too.

I paniced wheni seen how much it was in the student store!!!
This book was in really great condition (brand spanking New). it came in three days . i assumed it would take 7-10 days as usual. well that's so much i saved $35 compared to the student store . i have ordered books from amazon before and the comments were good but when i recieved them they looked like crap .. A few of the books were all highlighted and written in , they were suppose to be in excellent condition .so this one is a winner and will keep me coming back..

Great resource: Expensive
I use this book in my classes and it's jam-packed with useful, current information. However, it's too expensive and there are a lot of alternatives out there. The book industry must learn to adapt or it will die like newspapers. E-books!
