This study guide is another good example of poor support tools to students. I am taking a college course using the Perloff microeconomics 5e text. The study review guide does not correlate with information in each chapter; it expands into more complexities of each chapter, instead of sticking to the basics (this is an introductory class and text). Mason and Perloff may be the best economist out there but they have forgotten from whence they came. They at one time needed basics before complication. I would avoid both writers of economics, unless you enjoy long dissertations in written form explaining graphs two pages away and like to be challenged with few answers to homework problems and little support to practice standard type problems to gain experience and knowledge. Like many teachers today they forget how many times they have repeated the information and talk more than teach. With the internet and electronic tools available today it is hard to belief this is the best teachers, schools and book publishers can do. Very dissapointing experience with these authors and this publishers resources.

This book helped me understand concepts that were not clear from the class alone. The book also helped me with the class assignments. I however, did not read the book cover to cover so I can't say whether it is a good book from which to learn Microeconomics.
