Review

"I think the students will love the color, the engaging aspects of the layout. The most appealing thing to my colleagues will be that it is engaging for their students and they will be more likely to read the text."

The book covers the basics of communication in ways I wouldn't have even thought of. Over all I think it was a good choice for a college text book.

I ordered Comm by Rudolph Verderber less than a week ago and it arrived in the mail today, which was only about three days after the order, thanks to the student Amazon Prime account that I have. :) The book arrived in almost new condition. The only thing wrong with it was a very small wear spot on the very side of the spine, but that's just from being in the box it was shipped in: nothing too major. I have begun to read it today, and the book is very easy to read, highlight in, and more. The front of the book says it should sell at the average retail price of about $54, and in my college bookstore, a used copy goes for about $41. I was able to purchase a brand new copy of this book for approximately $30, which was a very good deal. Amazon has great service and their products ship pretty quickly if you set up a student account. I was very pleased with this book, and I will definitely be ordering more products from Amazon in the future.
