Customer Reviews

Pretty much brand new

This book came as a hard cover book with the cover intact and brand new. Got it very fast and in time for my class!

It came on time!

3 weeks into Spring semester of 2009, still did not have the required textbook for class. I refused to buy it from the university's bookstore which cost over 150 dollars! I was reluctant to order online since I am in need of the book. However, I estimated that the book should arrive in 10 days. Ordered it. Received it in 8 days!!! To top it off, I saved around 80 dollars!

Very useful

As a student, I hate buying textbooks that I hardly ever open and will never use but this book is great. So much information, graphics, charts... Not a difficult read either :)
