Customer Reviews

No Complaints!

Book arrived on time and was in the condition described by seller. Would use this seller again.

Good service

Book came faster than I thought it would. The seller should update their tracking system though. I like knowing when the book has reached a certain location after shipping.

Very pleased

I am always afraid to purchase books for class online, but I was very pleased with the arrival time and the condition of the book. Myra

good text book

Excellent text-book. Useful information, well organized, good examples. An easier and more interesting read than some. Includes a (small) section on Procrastination which identifies with me a little too well (in fact, guess what I'm doing right now?). :) The reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 is just because it is a text book and I was forced to read it. However, I think I'd much rather read this one than something else.
