This review is from: Socrates to Sartre and Beyond (Paperback)
I ordered this book for a class I was taking and it seemed okay for a used book but somewhere about half way through the book, I realized there were pages missing just randomly in a few places.They had been cut out real close to the binding and you really couldn't tell except that the page numbers revealed what was happening. I was taking an online course and had no way of getting the materials to read for those sections. Not cool.

4.0 out of 5 stars
great book, but as usual,
By Maple Ann "fiction fiend" (Cedar Rapids, IA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Socrates to Sartre and Beyond (Paperback)
This IS a great book, but as usual, the big publishers overprice. My copy from the 1990s cost $34.60. Fifteen years later it is three times that much in price. McGraw Hill, why the increase?
