I'm always a little iffy about buying textbooks online, so I usually pay a little more to try to insure that I don't get one that's falling apart. I am VERY pleased with the condition of this book. It is in excellent condition and for a workbook, that's pretty great! If this seller has anything I need in the future, I will most definitely buy from them first. Thanks for sending me a great product!
