For the price of the book which was a required book for my Biology class, it was a very good deal! However, it was unclear that this version was the big book- with the same version of this book avail in smaller booklets. This book is very awkward and cumbersome to carry with you! Make sure you buy a rolling backpack...But still, it is preferable for the money you save!
I purchase this book on 9/2/2006(expedited) and today is 10/29/2006 and to this date I "have not" received book as promise by 9/18/2006. I requested a refund since book I order was not the hard cover as stated. I have not received my $82.78 refund. I was purchasing for my daughter who is in college. I feel I was taking advantage of. I also file claim on 9/25/2006 and I haven't heard anything back on that.
I like that the book helps you alot in understanding the teachings (well also has to do with the teacher but the book helps to) it makes it easier to fallow along and the only thing that I dislike about the book is that it is super heavy but I don't think that's all that bad.
I just started using this book but I really like it. You can go online for animations and tutorials that reinforce concepts read.
I decided to buy it because the campus price was over 150.00. My son only needs it for one semester and I could not see paying that ridiculous price. The price on line was much more reasonable, so I bought through half.com
