Customer Reviews

It was good!

This package arrived quick. The book was in really good condition overall. Some pages folded, binding was still sturdy, and had 3 hole punches. No writing on it which made it useful for school. It’s paperback of the 10th edition. It’s modern enough to get a passing grade I’m sure.
