This review is from: Handbook of Econometrics, Volume 5 (Hardcover)

The seller shipped me wrong item. I actually purchased Volume 6, but htey shipped volume 5. When I contacted them they said I actually ordered volume 5 without checking the problem that was going on at the website. I have purchased hundreds of books from Amazon.com and I am extremely upset how this sale turned out to be.
