The book is not very user friendly for our class. Professor even said that he was going to recommend to the school to use another book for the next semster.

Amazon Verified Purchase

I received this nearly a week after the estimated date. Part-way through the wait time, I tried to contact the seller and she told me the order had never even been given to her by Amazon. I checked with Amazon and they confirmed the order had been given to her.

3.0 out of 5 stars Received item, February 13, 2009

Received item and was happy with condition of item. However took an extremely long time to receive. I went the first 4 weeks of my class without the book because it took over a month to receive the item. I am overall happy with the product, but very slow shipping.
