This Book is really good to teach in college.

It has many examples and explanations.

But it is hard to study for beginners.

It doesn not have many answers for questions.

So it is hardly possible to solve them.

If that can be revised the book will be one of bests.

Bailey's Organic Chemistry allowed me to relearn the subject before taking a major pre-professional exam. The text was interesting and clear enough that it can be read as a novel, as opposed to quick reference (although it works in this latter respect as well). If you're the type of student who requires context to clarify the sometimes arcane world of lines and arrows that makes up organic chemistry, Bailey's does the trick.

The book may not be in-depth enough for advanced chemistry study -- for instance, the treatment of macromolecules and biochemistry near the end barely scratches the surface, and has a last-minute tacked-on feel to it -- but as a refresher course or a basic introduction, no book I know of equals this one.

Have a shot of Bailey's (textbook) and enjoy learning o-chem!

Good transaction. I received the book in a timely matter. I received just what I had ordered.
