Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Adult Development and Aging (Hardcover)
I purchased this book in January and received probably the very first edition since its published date was 1996. I was supposed to receive the 3rd edition!!! Now I can't sell it back, so I'm stuck with a book that I never used because it wasn't the right edition needed for the class, and I'm out $30. Thanks, stupid seller!
