Rating:  - Good shopping experience
Item was in exact condition as quoted and received in a pretty reasonable time frame. Would buy from this seller again.

It's not an easy read, nor is something to try to do without some class notes, but I thought it was clear and informative.

Class hasn't started yet so can't rate the book
properly. I presume that it is good because the
school chose it.
Rating: - Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology 8th edition
This book was necessary for my class. Its good, except I can't get the disk to work.
