I bought a new microeconomics book with e-book access and they sent me an old macroeconomics book with no e-book access. In this case, micro and macro have a huge difference in terms of the usability of the book to me. They claim they made a mistake in categorizing the book. That means the seller is a complete m*r*n. It is all that they do and they are crap at it. I was in Japan at that time so shipping would have been costly so I kept it as a souvenir for $9. A special caveat emptor for this seller.

bought used from Amazon marketplace and it arrived much later than advertised...book was as stated but I paid expedite shipping for 6-8 days and it came 10 days past the due date - so in total 15days! I got email saying it was shipped on 25 June and I got it 10 July via USPS. Next time, buy from Amazon direct and get it via UPS or FedEx if time is a factor.

Macroeconomics is a very solid beginning economics textbook. All the principles are well taught and easy to learn. The graphs and illustrations help with the main points. Especially in the first chapters, the review problems and real-life examples are extremely helpful. However, the book was a little too detailed for the level class I took. My professor probably skipped 50% of the textbook. Many of the explanations in the book could have been explained much more simply. Also, the book is divided into several sections, which is helpful, but the section summaries are at the end of the group of chapters! I just thought that was weird. Overall, though, a good textbook.

The book came in almost new condition and was accurate on shipping time. It is easy to read and explains things well even though the topic still is difficult. It brings it to student level and relatability. All in all thumbs up.

I love the book. The explanations and illustrations are easy to follow. However, what I did not like was the shipping service. It took Amazon 1 week to get the book to me and I had paid for the 1 day shipment.
