The price compared to the bookstore is great, but after purchasing and taking to class I realize why. It's missing several chapters at the end of the book. The hardcover you find in bookstores has at least 3 or more chapters. If your class doesn't go that far, then you're good. If it does...well then you're going to have problems. Everything else is fine, but you will be missing key information.

My rating of the item is specifically for the item. The seller was great. The International edition is a good book for my class but being that I thought it was the same as the original hardbound book, I was disappointed. The International Student Edition is missing 10 full chapters from the original, giving it only 17 Chapters rather than the full 27. Still a good book.

This book is missing some chapters... I wish I had known before I got to the end of my course....

There is nothing in the description of this item stating it is missing 10 chapters!! Now I am halfway through my semester and half to buy the full price book from the bookstore!! Do not buy this item unless you are absolutely sure you don't need those chapters! I better get a refund because now I am going to be spending twice as much! I can't believe they sell a used book that is half of what you need for that much money!

Even though I ordered the correct item, I was shippped and Received a Student Intl copy that i did not order. The store sent a letter stating the item was the same as the domestic copy however it wasnt . I returned this item on 8/23 and as of 9/6 still have not been reimbursed for the return.

I didn't receive my book in the mail and it has been 30 days. I don't know what happened. I don't have a book for the class I ordered it for and am borrowing one till I get mine. I am wandering if it will ever get here.

The condition of the book was fine. However I didn't realize until I got the book that it did not contain all the chapters that the hard back copy did.

I bought this paperback version from Amazon for a very cheap price. The other version we used in class was ~$160.00 new!!! I bought this older version for like $40-50.00 and just copied the rest of the pages from the updated library version of the last two chapters covered in the final test. I actually found the CD included with the book on Amazon as wellthe for dirt cheap!! Keep up the good work Amazon!!

The price was right as was the ISBN so it worked out for me to purchase from Amazon.com

The textbook was received quickly after ordering. It was in excellent shape and I would order from this vendor again.
