By MsWBee (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Communication: Making Connections (7th Edition) (Paperback)
I think Amazon is the best when it comes to last minute purchases. You get your product in a timely manner, and I have never experience any merchandise that was not in good condition.

My instructor required some sort of MCP code to access a website for my online classes. Apparently this is only sold with the book when new.
