Great Geography book,

This review is from: World Regional Geography (10th Edition) (Paperback)
I love this book and I take world regional geography and it is a great class to learn from. It is an awesome book. I have learned a lot from this book in my World Geography class and I now know more about the United States and Canada and other countries just by reading the first two chapters in this book.

WTF?,

This review is from: World Regional Geography (10th Edition) (Paperback)
First off, it came in a beat up binder with the name "Valerie Karney" scribbled on the inside. The whole thing looked a mess. Not even all of the pages were put in properly. It was as if a mentally challenged person attempted to assemble this book.
