I used Criminal Law by Gardner and Anderson as my text when I taught an undergrad Criminal Law class. I found it overly simplistic, even for that level, and left my students with too many loose ends. The case excerpts used are drastically edited, sometimes only a sentence, which does not help demonstrate the proposition the cases supposedly stand for. It seemed that the authors also spent an inordinate amount of text on relatively unimportant topics. I also found the instructor's edition to be unhelpful.

The layout of the book is user friendly, and the case extracts are concise. I designated it as a reference book for my students and placed it on call in the library for them to review. It can be overly simplistic for an advanced reader, but on target for a good majority of freshman students. Maybe the 8th edition will show some evolution.

This was sent later than it was supposed to be, so it obviously arrived a few weeks into class (after first test). It also arrived as loose-leaf. I made it work, but I was shocked and it is very inconvenient, since reselling is pretty much out of the question. That was not noted prominently, if it was noted at all. Make sure you read the product description more carefully than I did. I have never seen a book shipped that way.

Great and fast communication! the book was not in comndition i ordered and i got the offer to send it back or 10% discount back. I took money :)

I cannot actually review the book as it is not a bound book so it was never opened. If you by this book, please be aware it is a loose leaf edition.

I odered the 11th edition and received the 10th. I'm actually pretty mad because I might not be able to use the 10th and I have to waste more money because you sent me the wrong edition.

this was a very VERY cheap price and great condition. It cost about $80 at my school but 0.46 online!..it was hard to believe but true. the shipping was actually more than the book itself. So great buy overall

I have ordered this book via standard shipping, I got it within 2 days with no additional charge to me. Also, good condition for a used book.

I had to have this book for class. It did give easy explainations. But, it was the instructor that made the class better.

The book was in excellent condition for an used book. I love the material it is helping me a lot in school and I got this book just in time!

I will definitely buy from this seller again.
