Bought this book for Dr. Muraskin's class and I am as pleased with the literature as I was with the Dr. herself.

I am not satisfied with this recent order because I never received the order. I waited until the designated date that I was to receive my order when I sent the sender an e-mail explaining that I had not received my purchase. A few days later they sent me an e-mail back saying that their records showed it had been shipped when in fact it never was and when they tried to send me another copy they were out of the book. They refunded my account, but never let me know a head of time that they actually did not have the book in stock. I went my entire quarter without the book and now it is too late to order it from somewhere else.
