Customer Reviews

Great alternative for the hardback version

When I saw this paperback version, I was a bit skeptical. But when I had browsed through it, its great. 1) Its a great deal for your wallet, 2) it has essentially all of the same material as in the hard back version, 3) it is much lighter and easier to carry around than the hardback version. The disadvantages of having the paperback version is that 1) it is in all black and white, so if you're a visual learner it might not work well for you, especially with the space filling models...you will not be able to tell the electronegative regions (red) from the electropositive regions (blue. 2) It is in paperback, so if you like to rough up your text books, this one will wear down more easily. 3) Instead of getting the nice glossy pages with the hardback, you get the phonebook texture paper. Overall, I like the paperback version, it takes a little getting used to, but it is really nice and helpful if you can get a good copy. The material itself is pretty helpful for organic chemistry, but I will admit, I find Organic Chemistry by McMurry to be a little more easy to follow.

Great Condition

Wow- this textbook was a fantastic purchase. Competitively priced, in great condition, and with decent shipping, I would totally recommend this seller.

good times with orgo

Yes I used this book for 2 semesters of organic chem. The class wasn't fun but atleast this book was pretty good. It describes alot of the tough stuff in detail and has great summaries at the end of each chapter. It is worth the money and if you fail the class you sure cant blame it on this book. ALSO buy it used b/c the new one is much too expensive and turns out you may not like orgo that much anyway haha

Much better than any other used

I have used this book in replacement of my organic chemistry class book. It's much more clear and easy to learn. However, it would be nice if the book and answer book was not so expensive but it's worth to me.

Excellent organic chemistry text.

This is an excellent organic chemistry text. Clear and well writen, it is a valuable source for the beginer or the more advanced student. While a bit expensive, it provides a wealth of information.
