Review of a NonPurchase,
By
This review is from: Animal Learning and Cognition (Handbook of Perception and Cognition) (Hardcover)
The reason I am reviewing a nonpurchase is because I appreciated the concern of the seller in informing me that I would be getting an old edition of the book I ordered. By informing me of that fact, we avoided my having to return the book because of my unsatisfied expectations. My gratitude to the seller.
