I tried to just go with lecture and avoid buying the book, but couldn't go with without it any longer. The book was just like the description, brand new. Good seller, good book.

Unfortunately I couldn't return this book, you are misinforming people, because according to your website, return is not a problem. When I was trying to return the book (or cancelled my order, because I had not received the book back then), you wrote me back that the seller did not accept return! THis is unacceptable! I will never use your website again!
