The Contemporary Reader, 9th Edition

Needed a textbook for a summer english class. Shipped in 5 days with expedited shipping. Great Book with many contemporary issues as topics: Immigration, Global Warming, Advertising, etc. Thats all folks.

Great!

The condition of the book is great, and it's so much cheaper than anywhere else. LOVE IT! Thanks.

this book is the best

We had to read this book for an English class, and I was thinking ugh, a nonfiction book. We only had to read a handful of articles, but almost everybody in the class read the whole thing. This is truly awesome.
