This book was way over my head... I had to buy it for a class and man I do regret taking that class just because it was so confusing to follow along and read.

E Book was delivered on the spot. No issues with it on Kindle. Would buy from this seller again.

There was some wear, but otherwise it was great

Good book for class. Fast shipping.
