3.0 out of 5 stars Books Falling Apart!, August 6, 2008

Hi Graduate Students,

Isn't it a shame that we are paying hundreds of dollars for textbooks that fall apart when you read them, well, this is one of them. I love the book itself - an excellent book in content. The producer of the physical book itself is doing a poor job of manufacturing. I did call the publisher about this issue. This seems to be a trend in graduate textbooks. Just my thoughts, we are paying too much for shabby treatment.
