I'm a undergraduate economic student and have tried a good sort of books in this matter, and I finally get one that fits very nice to my needs. This book touches all the aspects of the subject without being very hard to understand or too boring to read, and that is hard to find in book about industrial organization! Another good point is that the book is very new and have useful and contemporary examples. A liked very much!

While I am not finished with the book, as the semester just started. I will say the quality of the book is extremely poor. Please pass this on to your professors. I feel like they had an original and just made copies of it. The paper is not of a high quality, the print is poor, and it is all in black and white.

I did not appreciate this. If I had more time, I would have returned this item. I ordered through amazon.com because my University Bookstore sold out of copies. I saved about $15 by ordering through Amazon. It was supposed to come sooner than the book store could deliver it, but Amazon's delivery was late. I was penalized because I could not do assignments that were due.

The book I received was basically 500 photo copies bound together. No color (as you may know with multiple actions, supply and demand charts need to be color coded), thicker and bulkier than the original version.

In short, I thought this would be the same book coming in about the same amount of time for a little less money than the bookstore. Had I know the product would be delivered late, and that it was just a book full of black-and-white-photo-copies, I would not have bought this from amazon.

Be sure you know that you're getting the ACTUAL TEXT BOOK before ordering from this site!

I was required to use this book for my IO course. I am not able to compare it side by side with other books, but i can say that its approach to the many IO topics is very rich, and an easy read. Student with an Economic background will most definitely find it an easy read. For those not versed in Economics, theoretical and empirical information is presented in a seamless manner.

This book is very informative and you will learn vital information on Industrial Organization. The key terms come in handy and the explanations in the book on the concepts will help you tremendously in grasping the concepts.

Recieved book quickly and it was brand new in plastic and everything. Also saved a lot of money because the college book store tried to sell a used copy to me for $100 more. Awesome!

My textbook came as scheduled and was in great condition. I had a great experience with this purchase and will use this site again next semester.
