This book is really good for high school use or nursing students. It's not suitable for engineering students. Overall, this is an excellent book. I definitely suggest that you should buy this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Product, Slow Service, September 23, 2008

By	Adrienne Wheat ""Asbury student"" (Wilmore, KY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well, the book was good once I got it. Pretty much exactly like the description. But it did take a pretty long time to get here, and I had no way of tracking where it was.
