Great handbook:
I largely appreciate the layout of this handbook - everything is alphabetized for quick reference! Provides excellent examples of format and design. This is one of the few college textbooks I actually intend to keep!
Excellent condition, Slow Delivery:
The book came to me in great condition, because I ordered it new, but it took a few weeks to get to my book. Within the last two weeks it was scheduled to come in, which was a bit of a problem.
great price easy transaction:
Everything about this item was just as posted. Price was great. The shipping speed could use some improvement, espcially with all the options that USPS offers for shipping.
