Customer Reviews

Great

The provider did an amazing job at getting the product to me in a timely manner!

THE BEST

This book is amazing. Easy to get an A in a class that uses this text. Everything that is in the book is easily understood, its unbelieveable, so easy to follow. If you purchase the study guide you will be even better off. Hope this is useful.

Excellent!

This book is great. It has made it easy to understand chemistry. It's like looking at a math book. It breaks everything down into parts and puts it all together at the end of the chapter to grasp the full concept.

Perfect

I am so impressed by the shipping procedure. The website advised me to wait anywhere from 2 weeks to a month for shipping - i purchased the book around mid December (and during that time the mail delivery is backed-up due to the heavy duty Christmas shipping). But my books arrived within 4 days. That's right! And about the book ... spectacular condition. In fact, I wonder if it had ever been used. It most certainly was the best investment. :)

Easy to Follow

I am taking Chemistry over summer, so I have alot of material to sort through, this book makes it easy to do that. It also explains things simply but it very thorough.
