Customer Rating:
The book is fine, however it took a month to arrive when I was expecting it in a week and a half. I will not order textbooks from amazon again.
Highly Recommend This Book
Customer Rating:
If they offer this class at your college, take it! If not, the book should still be a big help. I had been out of school for 20 years so my study skills were rusty. I ended up graduating with honors. I couldn't have done it, if not for this book and class. Of course, my book was an earlier edition, but I have to believe it would only improve. I almost think it should be required reading for all freshman in their first semester of college.
