If you're in an ochem class that uses the Vollhardt and Schore textbook, I very strongly recommend buying this solutions manual. For each chapter it provides a section-by-section summary of the most important points and for the end of chapter questions it gives very detailed explanations of the answers. If an answer has the possibility of being unclear, it will explain, draw arrows, etc to make sure anyone can understand it. My favorite part is that it warns you about "tricks"; for example, in bold letters it will say tell you, "make sure you DON'T do this here", etc. Definitely worth the extra cost!

highly recommended in companionship with the Organic Chemistry text book

bought for my ochem class

The solutions manual is really essential if you buy the text book, since the text book does not provide answers to the problems! I found the solutions manual very clear and easy to read. It's written more like a guide, not like a text.

This product goes with the Vollhardt Schore Organic Chemistry book. In the solutions manual, each chapter is laid out starting with a summary of the important concepts, followed by the solutions to each problem. Overall, this solutions manual is good because it explains everything you need to know about the problem. While you cannot learn exclusively from this book, it is an important aid in understanding what is going on in each problem and it will help you learn the things you might not have caught while reading the book.

Although it is not brand new, it is intact and suit my purpose, not really highlighted at all. As a purpose for checking my HW answers and as a study guide, it is totally worth it!

I've been using this solutions manual for about six weeks now, and I have found it generally helpful. I mainly only use it for the solutions to problems section, which is most times explanatory on answers. Rarely, however, a solution's explanation can be confusing, and sometimes the solution itself is very ambiguous. The study guide section for each chapter is very concise, and is to be studied only if one has read the actual textbook. Some sections aren't explained at all, and are left to the reader to re-read the textbook. These sections are ones that cannot be thoroughly explained without going into textbook-like detail, so I think that it is appropriate for the solutions manual to do this. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to someone who has the textbook, as the exercises in the textbook are most times not enough to supplement your understanding.

It is a good guide for classes that professors that goes with the book rather than using it as a secondary source. Has a few typos but easily noticed. Mainly helps with practice problems.

This solutions guide is really great. The answers to all of the problems are given (mostly with detailed solutions). There are also very short guides that supplement chapters in the book. I would STRONGLY recommend this manual for anyone using the Vollhardt/Schore Organic Chemistry textbook.

The book came in just a few days. It was exactly as described.
Excellent transaction.

The guide was in excellent condition, just as stated, and I hope it will be helpful to me this fall.
