Customer Reviews

The Prof's Choice

Our oldest just started college this fall (2009), and her Econ Prof. was so adamant about having this Econ text, he had the kids send back a perfectly good Econ text for this one, so he was quite sure this is what was needed. There is also an inexpensive study guide with which it goes. (When I said the texts they sent back were "perfectly good", I meant I'd read through the text and study guide, I found them to be sound, as well as a good teaching tool.) These are the two our daughter's Prof insists upon. His insistance, combined with my own review, as well as our daughters', is what I base my rating upon. I'm sure you'd like more info, and I'm sorry not to be able to provide it, but I was unable to have the text long enough to give a really good going over. Also, an aside.. I believe one of the previous reviewers was inadvertently reviewing the study guide, and not this book, which is the textbook.) Thanks for your time!

great service

Seller was great. Needed the product sooner than standard shipping, and was very accommodating at getting it to me.

A non-econ major

I bought this book for an Intro to Micro-Econ class in college. I found that it was helpful, as it introduced and reinforced the basic principles that we were discussing in class. I wouldn't recommend it to someone outside of the classroom looking for some microecon knowledge, but it's not a bad book to study.
