1.0 out of 5 stars
Not the best book,
By Ryan "you1952008" (College Station, Tx) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Water Resources Engineering (Paperback)
I don't really have any problems on the content of the book. My problem is with the fact that a publisher would make an engineering textbook in paperback. Since you are constantly flipping back and forth, you will find this book falling apart. It is the end of the semester, and my book is in 828 different pieces (there are 828 pages). If you can find a hardback buy it don't waste your money buying the paperback.

This review is from: Water Resources Engineering (Paperback)
I have been buying books on this site for a long, but l have never had any problems.
I was very socked when l received the Water Resources Engineering book in the way it was sold to me.The book had a lot of missing and tore pages in it.Frankly I was not happy because the book was not worth the price l paid.Now I learn my lesson.
