The book tends to be a little redundant, and occasionally confusing, but it's a great tool if you have the right teacher.

This book is great! Would give it a 100 stars if they had it. It breaks down all these economic concepts that you are having trouble with into simple, basic ideas that you can relate to. It uses clear, everyday examples and discusses everything in such a conversational sense, you won't even remember you are doing MicroEcon. So this may come across to some as the book being written for high schoolers ( I personally didn't feel that way and I am an MBA), but isn't the whole objective to understand the material in the most basic sense, so you can remember and apply it?

I read every chapter and skipped none.

I was privileged to be a student of Bob Frank and all I can say is, What an extraordinary talent! I am glad that I didn't place out of his class because I considered doing that in the beginning. I cried on the last day of class.

I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone at any level taking an introductory Microecon class.

I'm currently using this book for my Micro class. I'm not fond of the way that it is set up. To explain things it uses more examples than definitions. How can I possibly know what c is if I don't know a and b first? However if cat is a and dog is b...I magically should know that c is mammal??? congrats on me needing this book

This textbook is brilliant...The authors write concepts that take other authors thousands of words to explain in less than a paragraph...I have taught economics for seven years and thought I'd never buy another intro book again...This book is like a murder mystery that you can't put down...

Shipper sent it out fast, the book was brand new even though it was listed as used. Definitely would work with this seller again

Seller was quick in delivery and book was in great condition. I had a change in need which he was happy to accomodate. Excellent follow up after sale.

the product never got shippe, the seller said that something came up (a family matter i suppose). I really did need this textbook for school so i was greatly disappointed when the seller told me that he would cancel the trade we made.

This book is elementary. It is intended for high-school and first year uni students who have never had to go near anything even resembling economics before. It seeks to achieve what most texts only say they attempt to do: (a) get you to THINK like an economist, and (b) CONVINCE you that this mode of thought actually makes 'good sense'. Using various stories, real and imaginary, it certainly points the student down path (a). As to whether it does the same with (b) is a trickier question - not least, paradoxically, because of the success of (a); that is, one suspects students might start to get the feeling that they are being hood-winked - "Surely it can't be THAT simple", one can hear them say doubtfully. ...Out of the mouths of babes.

The book was in good condition but the product came 3 1/2 weeks after I ordered it.
