Customer Reviews

Better than Good

Considering they just came out with another edition, I didn't want to spend a lot on this older one-and didn't. Still has great info, and came with the CD. Came within a week of ordering it with expedited shipping and in much better condition than was stated ("good").

Very Good

There are no pages torn out to my knowledge, there is very little highlighting, the CD was included, overall good shape.

Excellent service, great product

The book I ordered arrived promptly and it's quality was as specified. I am satisfied with this purchase.

I liked this book..

I took a class at college about communication disorders and the professor used this book. I didn't pick up on any bias or negativity like the previous raters stated. I haven't read the whole book but it's basically an introductory book about communication disorders and the book helps you to understand why different disorders are classified and diagnosed the way they are. I probably would not buy this book for reading on vacation but the class I took was interesting and this booked helped me to clarify some of the concepts that we were learning. A good introductory book about the subject, I think.
