My biggest advice to all of you, find a class that uses a different textbook.

As an economic major student with an "A" in both micro and macro and compared to other econ textbooks I find this textbook a nightmare. The book isn't boring, I will give it that much. But it's extremely jumpy, it jumps around a lot from page to page and almost every time it talks about a graph, that specific graph would be several pages backwards or forward. Also the definitions that it gives you during the reading is a bit different in the glossary, so you have to play around with the words a lot until you actually get it. The homework questions are just stupid, it's so open to interpretation and so broad. It also lacks the mathematics of economics - it doesn't give a lot of examples with numbers. The book is heavily dependent on theories and it DOESN'T explain ALL the formulas that economists use. The author would also be explaining a subject and suddenly get carried away, then a few paragraphs later the author would back-track. There's also no coherent pattern that the textbook follows, it's just a bunch of information clumped up together and spread across hundreds of pages of paper.

It's not economics, it's voodoo economics.

I Thought that I would need a newer edition as this is the second newest but as it turns out my professor is a nice guy and uses this one as well so students dont have to pay an arm and a leg. Pretty simple and straight to the point textbook. I like it.

This version of the Microeconomics textbook was reccomended for me for my entry level microeconomics course. The book itself is very helpful and makes it easy to bettter understand the professor's lectures.

The seller shipped the book very quickly after it was purchased and I recieved it in a timely manner and in good condition, the book was well packaged for shipping, and priced very reasonably. Thanks!

I think this book is ok at best. Sometimes it helps me out, and sometimes I'm typing stuff into Google to get an answer. I wish they did a better job of showing you how to do the formulas and read the graphs.

This book saves me from spending hundreds of dollars on it. When i compare it to the bookstore price, this really worth it.

This was a good purchase. The only thing I don't like is most of the online materials that go with this book cost more money. For the price of the book they should include all the online materials at no additional cost.

This was my first time purchasing a used textbook from Amazon.com. I bought a microeconomics book that looked like NEW. I'm VERY satisfied and happy to have made this purchase from Imae2009.

It's good, the delivery was fast...it's a bit raggedy tagged around the corners, but all else is fine, the quality of the book, and it was empty inside.

The best book for understanding most basic and essential economic concepts and graphs.

I would highly recommend McConnell over Samuelson, as Samuelson was the apologist for Keynes and constantly promoted the socialist agenda. McConnell on the other hand supported free market capitalism and open competition.

I'm very happy with this purchase...the book came in great time and great condition! Thank you!
