Customer Reviews

Exactly as ordered and described

Better than expected

Book was in good condition. Came sooner than expected. Very happy. Thank you :)

4 Stars for Price Only

The book was in fair condition due to the cover/pages being curled. I would order in advance. It took 3+ weeks for me to receive the book. I did save alot of money, the book was only $6. Next time I would order through this dealer for recreation not for necessity.

College Text book

The price beats what most college bookstores charge. I always reccommend purchasing online it could cut the cost of the book in half. However if your going to purchase your college book online you should visit the college bookstore and find out what the instructor requires for the class a few weeks ahead of time so you dont get stuck paying for expedited shipping.

Well written book-A KEEPER for people who are becoming US Citizens

This book has a LOT of detail in it. It gives you an excellent idea of how our Federal government is organized, who runs what parts of the government, background on the organization of the Federal government. The book has the full text of the US Constitution, along with the amendments, and explanations of same. There is also a list of all the US Presidents and Vice Presidents. There are links to many websites, both public and private, that are of interest. The book is well written and should be considered by anyone who will be taking a citizenship test. For those of you who are buying this book because it is required for your class: If you actually read this book, you WILL learn some very interesting things.
