- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2018I rented this book through Amazon's textbook rental service.
Book is well organized and covers a good deal in a compact size. Authors have an excellent writing style which made otherwise incredibly dull material relevant and interesting.
Book is six years old and the rental I received was basically in tatters from who knows how many previous renters. Had to be extra careful lest I incur any charges from additional damage.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2014I purchased the kindle version and found out after I rented it that it does not work on Windows 8. Now I either have to bring my iPad with my laptop or buy the actual book. I'm very disappointed.
