Seller's Description:
Good. Connecting readers with great books since 1972! Used textbooks may not include companion materials such as access codes, etc. May have some wear or writing/highlighting. We ship orders daily and Customer Service is our top priority!
It's a good book to use for conceptual reasons, but if you want specific examples and more practice problems, I would definitely not recommend it. The solutions in back are random too, not pure odds or evens.
