4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book full of good information!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: First Aid for Colleges and Universities (9th Edition) (Paperback)
This book is full of really good information and will be helpful not only in my college course, but will continue to be a good reference outside of the classroom when dealing with real-life situations. My only concern was that the book didn't come in the condition I thought it would; when it says the book is in "very good" condition, I would expect an almost like-new copy, not one that is very, very tattered on the front cover. Anyway, this book is useful and the wear-and-tear is minimal, especially in essence to how much use I will get out of it.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Worth it,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: First Aid for Colleges and Universities (10th Edition) (Paperback)
This book was well worth the price. Cheaper than any of the other college bookstores. Glad I buy them on Amazon and Ebay, instead of give or donate rather my hard earned money to a redundant institution.

This was one of my textbooks that I needed for school. Much cheaper than the school was selling it for.
