Very happy.... January 30, 2010
Daisy (Putnam County, NY)
I received this book in brand new condition. Not one mark anywhere on the book. I was very pleased with it. The $$ was great and even with the expedited shipping I requested, the price was still a significant amount lower that purchasing the book brand new. Plus, I really did get it fast. I will ONLY use amazon.com (used text books are) for the rest of my curriculum books.
Perfect condition and CHEAP!!! February 12, 2010

Thank you so much for the quick ship and the cheap price. This is so helpful considering these books cost a fortune at the bookstore!
