3.0 out of 5 stars Rental experience poor. Do not recommend. Book content great.
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 2, 2020
I never rent books like this but I figured that I would give it a try since it looked like the buyout was reasonable. Never renting from Amazon again. After delivery was “7 stops away” delivery suddenly stated there was a problem. I patiently waited for an update. Book did arrive the following day; however, it arrived severely damaged even though the packaging was fine. Unacceptable quality. This book should be recycled and not rented or resold for $50 and $100 respectively.

Content of book, from what was readable, appears to be invaluable to the discipline.

2.0 out of 5 stars Decent text with good examples and scripts, poor binding and paper quality
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 1, 2020
I thought the actual content of the book, the exercises, examples and scripts are really good. At least four stars.

The paper it's printed on is thin/frail, non-glossy, and the binding completely came undone after about a year of light and careful use with no temperature swings. Consider an e-book version.
