I'm halfway through the book and thus far it has proven to be a very well written, well presented textbook.
I find it easier to understand than the only other Micro text book I've read- Microeconomics, by Boyes & Melvin. (Though this was pretty good too)
It provides PLENTY of examples so the student can put it into a relevant context.
One thing I find excellent is the the "In-Chapter Exercises" which by the way, has solutions to them at chapter's end.
It also provides a good amount of highly relevant chapter end problems (without solutions) that really look to hammer in the content discussed in the chapter.
One thing I do appreciate is how they seem to not gloss over principles and concepts essential to micro. They seem to really take their time, and use enough of the chapter to thoroughly explain principles and concepts.
I personally feel great about what I've learned from this book (though not to take away from other Micro books). I now truly understand some of the decisions firms and nations are making and what considerations go into those decisions and most importantly how it all makes logical sense for the desired outcome.
Though I'm only halfway though, this book is something I would like to read again in the future.

Received book at the wrong address, but that was Amazon's fault. The book was in better condition than I originally expected (based on what I paid for it) and does the job. Thanks!
