    A+++++ Seller! Professor's syllabus listed the wrong book for the course, and told us of the mistake the first day of class. Contacted seller textbooks_source ASAP, and they were able to stop and refund the first order. I then purchased this textbook as the correct book for the course. Textbook received as described. This is a great seller. I would (and did) purchase from again. A++++++!!!!!!!
