Customer Reviews

Good Book

Although I'm not much of a book reader, I was asked to get this book for a college class and think it's a huge improvement over the other book they had us use last semester. The text is well laid out and the images are crisp in full color.

Great resource

I purchased this book because I was going to teach a class on Communication in Society. I was impressed that it came in a loose-leaf copy, which helped me tremendously because I like to make binders for each of my classes. Initially, I wasn't sure what I thought of the book. However, now, as I have taught through the material, I find it to be extremely helpful and the examples and explanations are great. The resources for professors has been tremendous.

Good Quality

Was delivered very quickly, which was very much appreciated. Nice quality and a good price

Math Book

Not too bad. Need this for my college class and is exactly which book i needed. My school had ran out of these before the end of the first week meaning I had to find another source of this book. It was ok shipping. Book came in enough time I can still use it to study for my first test. Order ASAP when you find out you need this book because shipping does take a lil while.
