I bought this text off of Amazon because it was 5 dollars cheaper than at the school store. Plus I could get it delivered for free instead of fighting the crowds to grab a book.

Anyway, what I did not know is that the book the school store sold came with the access code for Blackboard Connect (which is required for my class, it may not be for others). This book did not. The code costs about 30 dollars. So check with your professor before the class starts, and try to find an edition with the access code card instead of over-paying like me.

I do like the textbook though. Just heed my warning so you don't have to over-pay.

Used it for class, I liked that it applied well to current situations. I did point out a miscalculation in the book...but otherwise good text for it's content.

The book is certainly in great condition. but I didn't know this was the copyright-violating international edition!!! Most of the books I looked at online that were the international edition said so in the description. For this seller, the only clue which I didn't pay much attention to when looking for the book is a small subtitle on the cover that says international edition. Since I didn't know or didn't really care what the regular cover looked like this was easy to overlook.

So anyway, I have no idea yet whether the edition is the same or not, the sellers who advertise the international addition say it's the same, but on the cover it SAYS its different from the North American version. I was a little annoyed to find out that this wasn't the regular version, since I think I paid a little more for this one which I thought was regular, and also the shipping took a little longer than my other books.

So yeah I felt like this seller should have pointed that out, but as I said, the condition of the book is great, so that is a plus.

Book arrived very quickly in time for class and in condition as stated. Would do business with them again in a heartbeat!

I found the book in great condition and got it in great time. Thanks seller!

I needed this textbook for my Chem 104 class, and I was not going to pay full price at the bookstore. Not only did I save $85 on this text, but the book is completely new. It had never been opened, and was in perfect condition. Everything matches the book they're selling on campus. I'll definitely buy from these guys again.

I bought an item that claimed to be in excellent condition, minimal highlighter markings as well as wear and tear. The item I received is full of highlighter and the pages are extremely warn. They are bent, dirty, and not something I would have paid 95 dollars for had I seen it first.

I purchased a very expensive text at a reasonable price. The used description was accurate and I got the textbook ASAP which was important since I ordered it after the class started. These guys are my first pick next time!
