Scientific American Reader

I needed this book as a companion to my Psychology book, ended up buying a new book that this one came with (newer edition), so I didn't really need to buy it, but it shipped quickly and got here in the condition advertised. We still haven't read any of it in class, so I don't suspect it was really necessary to have. Oh well....
