Customer Reviews

Really good!

This book came in excellent quality. It arrived just in time to start my class, which was the time I was promised. The actual book is not difficult to read. It is however, packed with information, like most textbooks are.

Great condition

This book shipped in about 9 days. It was in perfect condition and was cheap in comparison to my school bookstore.

past edition

I knew before buying this book that it was the eighth edition and our professor wanted us to have the ninth edition. Price was a serious issue for me and this book was exactly the same thing! It was perfect!

PSY135- The Psychology of Adjustment Textbook

This is a very well written book, considering it is college text. There is an abundance of useful information, but it's not just knowledge for graduate school. It also teaches everyday applications. If you are a psychology junky like me and also read these kind of books for fun, I highly suggest it.
