    5.0 out of 5 stars Lightening up my kid's book load - buying this copy for home!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    My son uses this book in school and BOY is it heavy! He was schlepping the school copy back and forth every day and so I got the idea to buy copies of his heaviest books to keep at home. Now he can keep the school copy in his locker and bring it to class and NOT have to travel around with it, because he has the very same book at home now.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    My daughter needed this book for one of her college classes. As we all know, school books are unrealistically expensive and this one is no exception. I found a used copy for less than half the price of a new one and it was the latest edition. Advertised as "Good" condition, I ordered it. From across the country it came in very quickly, all things considered, and it wasn't "like new", but it was in nearly new condition. I was very impressed. All areas of the purchase and delivery were perfect. What more could you ask for?

    This is a great book for those who are taking an introductory chem class. I thought I had down in high school and didn't think college chem would have a big difference. Surprisingly it did and this book helped clearing things out.

    I am a tutor for high school in my area, and this book is the Chemistry book for one of the local high schools. Not sure it is an appropriate high school level book. It's very in-depth and challenging.

    I bought this book late last year for my Chemical Technology Classes.
    It is a very well organize chemistry book for students that are studying
    chemistry for the first time, for it brakes everything in a concise format.
    The seller was very good, the order came on time at the right date, and
    as it has been described. I am very satisfy the way it was handled.
