5.0 out of 5 stars Good all-around, May 3, 2009
By J. Carnes (Washington) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It's easy to follow for self-learning. Even if you aren't taking a class it would help with self-study of natural science.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Terrible. I got charged for the book but never received it. Sent one email, got a reply. Next email went unanswered. Working on getting my money back now. Will look out for this name and not order from again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loveed the service from this place, November 10, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Foundations of Earth Science (4th Edition) (Paperback)
My wife needed this book for school and I got it before her class started. I just got an e-mail right now following up on the order. Any books that I need, I hope that this place has them because I just want to order from them.
