Customer Reviews

Great price Great condition

The book arrived quickly and was in excellent condition, cost was great too, about half the price I would have paid at our campus book store

Excellent, Thourough Statics Text

The greatest feature of this book is the generous use of examples throughout. For every type of problem, there is some close example that you can refer to. Even though I didn't particularly enjoy the class for which this text was assigned, I think that the book itself is a great resource, and should be recognized as so.
