- Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2020Great service! The book is in good condition and it arrived on time.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2016The information is presented clearly and in an organized fashion. Sometimes it has large chunks of text but the questions at the end of each chapter help with comprehension. I have it for a textbook and I don't mind reading it so much.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2013The text gives a wonderful view of Latin-American history and offers the opportunity to combine establishing an historical perspective with the ability to learn past, present and future tense regular and irregular verbs. The text enables me to increase my vocabulary beyond conversational Spanish.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2020I had another version of this text which had better quality. The pages were thicker. The pages in this version seem to be newsprint. I don't think that it is going to hold up well over the years.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2013I was very impressed with this order. The book shipped quickly and arrived between the 7-14 day window. The service was professional. The book details matched the quality of the book. I am very pleased with the service provided.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2020When you rent a book you do run the risk of getting some margin notes but if the book is already in bad shape and written on its not worth it
