Rented a book and it looked brand new, although it had been used (I knew from the multiple rental stickers on the back of the book). I was really impressed and would recommend these books if you look for quality rentals.
Great book! Well written, informative, entertaining! Makes what could be very boring reading, interesting and fun. Highly recommend.
I used this in my leadership class for nursing school and it provided very little useful information.
lay out of the book is great, not a heavy read..have yet to make a significant connection to nursing.
It was new, and exactly what I ordered. Shipping was within a week....was good for holiday season.
good book, haven't really used it much but its small, easy to carry, simple to understand
Brand-new. I had to order it for class. I appreciated that it is straight to the point.
A really easy read compared to all other books I've had to read in school.
