I was required to buy this book for school (I rented). Upon receiving the book I noticed it was FILLED with highlighting. Sometimes having a book pre-highlighted is beneficial, but it is like entire pages highlighted. Also, page markers are all through it and answers to review questions are circled in pen. You get a great price for by renting, but the review questions already being answered bothers me. If you like to study with review questions, I suggested not renting.
Everything was great with very smooth transaction. Wish I would have bought the book
Fast delivery, item just as described.
price was about 40 less than what my bookstore was selling it for. Arrived in less than a week and the book is easy to understand and not complicated like the Bushong textbook.
Ordered this for a friend because she was in a hurry to get it and I have Prime. It came on time and it was exactly what she needed at a lesser price
It is what it is supposed to be. For the price it is good. Very informative.
Well written for some tough stuff
Very easy to understand
