This book was in great condition except for a few missing pages at the front of the book and I was able to make copies of the missing pages from another student so I still have a complete book!

I received my book in a timely manner, and it was brand new still in the wrapper. I paid $30.00 less then my college was selling it, especially, for the used book. I had no problem with this company.
