I purchased this textbook for College and got it at a reasonable price and saved . It showed up on time and it was in good condition with the CD. I'm happy.

I'm using this book in a class and it is beastly. My prof had to provide information for unedited typos, incorrect information provided, and clarification for acitivities. The questions at the end of each chapter are notoriously picky and extremely specific. Sometimes they are not in the regular text but in descriptions or directions in an activity. Other times, you have to infer answers b/c they aren't present at all. I have not taken my MSCE test yet and would be afraind to based on this book. I think I will wait until I can take a few more classes. For the price, it is a rip off. Buy used when available or not at all.

I didn't get what I had bought because it was out of stock. It shouldn't be posted in the first place!! The good thing is that I got my money back.
