Bought this book for a final semester class. Didnt read it that much at the end of the day because the instructors had a second book that was more of a summary of this one and made for an easier read. But this one was packed full of important community health nursing info. Not just easily readable or mobile (quite heavy). I'd say better for referencing

Excellent book. I like how it explains everything very well. I had to buy this book because neither my school bookstore nor had it as a Rental option. It is so good, that I'm planning to keep it.

Brand new book and got it shipped fast
