    Bought this for an online US History I course. The book came in perfect condition, as described and it's getting me through this course little by little. For anyone reading this--I don't recommend taking history courses online if you can help it. History is basically all stories, and it sucks to not have anyone there to actually do the storytelling. The textbook is cool, but it would be so much more interesting to be able to have an actual discussion about what I'm reading. This review is for the book, though, and that itself was exactly what I intended to order--thanks.

    Very nice book, for a rental I thought it would be fairly well used. But this book is brand new, not a single bent page or cover. I definitely recommend this seller.

    The book worked for what I needed but the state it came in wasn’t that good. When I received it, it was water damaged and had small remnants of food between some of the pages. But besides that, it got the job done.

    It works perfectly for my online class and came without any issues! It is brand new and has no writing in it or torn pages! A lot cheaper than my school's bookstore!

    Just wasted $24. It wont download or open on ANY of my Kindle apps including for my Mac and for my Samsung Galaxy. It keeps telling me to update my Kindle software when I already have the latest one downloaded. Would not recommend
