Customer Reviews ::

Not happy with this one - L. J. Zebrun-gero - Helena, MT United States
The "like new" copy of the textbook I received had lots of highlighting and much marginalia. That was disappointing enough but I received the book in very poor condition - corner smashed in and pages rumpled and compressed together so they were very difficult to disengage and flatten out to turn and actually READ. Cover ripped. Poor packaging for such a heafty but pliable tome. The discount (about ) wasn't worth getting a brand new one.
