I purchased this for my son and was excited that I paid 1/3 the new price. This was great, since he only needs it one semester. The book was shipped quickly although I didn't pay extra.

It has been very beneficial for my course and the instructions are easy to follow. It is too big to carry but I know they've made a smaller paperback one. The other students enjoy the portability but it's not spiral. It's difficult to maintain an open book and follow the instructions while typing with that one.
