I ordered this book knowing it was gently used. It's exactly what I expected. Thank you for sending it so promptly.

This book is poorly written: sentences use three different pronouns to refer to the same person; tenses don't match; run-on sentences abound; word usage is inaccurate. I found errors of grammar, syntax, morphology, and semantics, which should be embarrassing for a book on language. Parts of sentences were omitted, leaving the meaning dangling. Errors occurred on nearly every page, and some pages were a morass of red flags. Half of the problems could have been corrected if the book had been edited, which does not appear to have happened; the other half are made up of really bad writing. Don't buy it if you love language; it will frustrate you to no end. It took effort to extract the message from the text.

This is an excellent user-friendly book written specifically for a field that has few resources other than books written for SLP's - not the assistants.
Although it is a required text for just one of my core SLPA classes, all of the other instructors in the program are using it as a reference.
