The item came in a very timely fashion in almost mint condition, better even than the page had described. It was hardback for less than five bucks. I couldn't have asked for a better transaction and heartily recommend this company for any purchases you need to make that they can field.

Customer Rating: 

I basically ordered the book and never heard back from the seller that Amazon represented and still have not received a credit from Amazon for the book I never received!

Customer Rating: 

Some of Palmer's points were pretty good (the subject centered classroom and critical moments in teaching), however it was overwritten to the point of sheer unreadability and most of his ideas can be had elsewhere. The book would have been far better had he dropped his grandiose writing style; it just felt like he had written the book to impress all of us with how much florid, useless prose he could manage to shove in.

In all, it was okay, but there was no need for such simple ideas to be presented in such a pretentious manner.

Customer Rating: 

Palmer's writing evokes the inner being. He offers a lot of humility and personal experience which calls a person to respond from the inside. I was stirred in numerous ways by his writing and applaud this one like I applaud many of his books. Its a necessary additon to the library of anyone serious about their teaching or in the business of teacher training.
