This review is from: Macroeconomics, 9th Edition (Paperback)

I placed the order direct from Amazon on 1/13/10. They sent me an email cancelling my order on 1/29/10 due to lack of availability. This is effecting my son's classwork as we needed it and felt we were assured the textbook by buying from Amazon. I'm now struggling to find it elsewhere.

This review is from: Macroeconomics, 9th Edition (Paperback)

This item was not sent when promised. This was a text book and since my son is going to school out of state when I finally received the book I was out the extra expense of having to overnight to him so he would have it in time for classes. The excuse I received from the seller was they were out of town for a few weeks. Not happy at all with this purchase.
