Customer Reviews

ship from state helpful in choice, fast service

Delivery was expedite, but I chose a seller within the same state. Only odd occurrence was that I had bought and returned the new edition to the very same college book store that sold the older version to me.

Great Text

I used this for one of my classes and liked it so much that I kept it. I even gave a copy to a friend of mine. I really liked the approach. It is easy to read but interesting. The author gets a little preachy in some areas, and I didn't really like some of his exercises. Overall, it's a great reference text.
