Books

The content of this book is pretty crappy, blah, who likes physics, but if it's what you need for class then so be it. It's very hard to read, but a great book once you get your copy. Not too helpful with anything, but, its a book

2nd Edition Physics

Good reference text in addition to being a classroom Physics book. Something you'll keep even after you return all your other books for the money at the end of the semester.

1/4 the bookstore price

The book is the softcover international edition but is identical in content to the version sold in the bookstore at 4 times the price. Item arrived by express mail.
